FROM 



L. PRANG & CO. 



WE owe thanks to the people of the great State of Pennsylvania, and especially to 
the citizens of the historic City of Philadelphia, who have shown themselves in 
many ways our special friends. No small degree of our business success in years 
past has been due to their generous support ; indeed, there is hardly one of the many enter- 
prises we have undertaken during the last quarter of a century, which has not met with a 
ready reception at their hands. 

But it is not only because our publications have always been appreciated in Philadel- 
phia and the surrounding country, that we have reasonfor congratulation at the present time. 
The taste for refined and chaste work in color and form, which is acknowledged as character- 
istic of the " Quaker City," and which is manifest not only in much of the fine and industrial 
art-work produced there, but also in the general surroundings of the people, has given us 
many new and valuable suggestions in our efforts to raise to the highest, the standard of 
our own art-work. 

Philadelphia has always demanded the best which we could give ; we, on our part, have 
endeavored to give, in return, our best to Philadelphia. 

These mutual relations have been instrumental in creating for us a large business in 
Pennsylvania, and to father a decision in 1880 to establish a branch of our house in Philadel- 
phia, in order to promote still more intimate relations between the Pennsylvania public and 
ourselves. In this undertaking we were welcomed most cord/a//j, and it has proved suc- 
cessful, far beyond our most sanguine andcipadons. 

But beyond this purely business connection, we have reason to feel particularly grateful 
to Philadelphia for the support and encouragement which has been given us in our en- 
deavors to develop a knowledge of and an appreciation for, industrial art in public educa- 
tion. Philadelphia has opened her schools to give our educational ideas in this direction a 
trial ; and we count, by no means the least among our many friends, the teachers ot the 
Philadelphia public schools, who have so faithfully and so conscientiously endeavored to carry 
out the instruction in drawing, which has been provided for them. 

As we have said, our thanks are due to Philadelphia and to Pennsylvania for suggest- 
ions, for cordial support and for kindly hospitality. To them we now offer our best wishes for 
the increase of prosperity and brotherly feeling, which the celebradon of this Bi-Centennial 
betokens, and we beg to accompany these expressions of good will with assurances of contin- 
ued endeavors on our part to promote the interests which the City and State have in develop- 
ing Art-Education and Art.

I'he Celebratiori. 



October of the year 1882 will complete the second 
century since the founding of our Coniraonwealth 
by William Peun ; and it being desirable to secure 
a proper celebration of this event, an Association 
was organized for this purpose under the title of 
The Bicentennial Association of Pennsyl- 
TANIA. Citizens of every part of the Common- 
wealth were cordially invited to become members 
of it, and to aid in tlie ettort to show to the people 
of the whole country what Pennsylvania and 
Philadelphia now are, "and the progress which they 
have made in the two centuries of their existence. 

"In days past all public demonstrations, intended 
to commemorate great events in the history of a 
community, were of a military or a religious charac- 
ter ; more recently it has been deemed becoming 
to exhibit the progress which has been made in those 
arts which tend to promote the intelligence, con 
venience, comfort, refinement and culture of the 
people. Such an exhibition is most appropriate 
when the observance is intended to lionor the 
memory of those who composed the little colony 
which, "by deeds of peace, " laid the foundation of 
a prosperous Commonwealth, and established, for 
the first time in the world's history, real freedom of 
opinion and worship; not the toleration which, in 
former times, as a favor, permitted men to enjoy their 
views and faith ; but Xhe. right to freedom of thought 
and religious ceremonies, as a civil prerogative." 

"On such occasions civilization halts a moment 
and ' takes inventory ' of her resources and measures 
her progress." As we received a double legacy of 
land and government, from the Foundei', we have a 
double inventory of resources and progress to make 
and to measure. We not (Uily celebrate the two 
hundredth anniversary of the acquisition and settle- 
ment of the land by William Penn and liis colony, 
as an event of great historic and material interest 
and importance, but in a higher, a nobler sense we 
celebrate, withjoyous thanksgiving, the planting, in 
the Frame of Government and in the hearts of the 
Quaker Fathers, of the sublime and eternal truth 
that "all men are created equal, that they are en- 
dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable 
rights ; and that among these are life, liberty and 
the pursuit of happiness." 

Since tliese legacies are a common inheritance, it 
has been the aim of the Committees entrusted with 
the arrangement of this celebration to make 
it an event of interest to the greatest mass of the 
people. The exercises arranged are numerous and 
varied, and the greaterportion of them will be seen 
over the streets, on the two rivers, or in the Park, 
for in no other way can hundreds of thousands of 
our citizens unite in witnessing and participating in 
ceremonies of the celebration. To more fully and im - 
partially represent all interests and all classes, and to 
make the platform of theBi-Centennial Celebration 
as broad as was that of the Founder of the State, 
five days have been set apart in the Programme, 
each one of which will be representative.

JAMES ELVERSON, 
Publisher of " GOLDEN DAYS." Philadclp/iia, Pa 



From the Baltimore Gazette. 

The remarkable success attained by GoLDifN 
Days, the boys' and girls' periodical, published 
by Sir. James Elverson, Philadelphia, is a most 
encouraging evidence that pure and healthful lit- 
erature isnot incapable otattracting the eager in- 
terest of "Young America." JSIr. Elverson seems, 
in fact, to have gauged the taste of the average 
child of our day with wonderful accuracy, as 
there appears to be but one opinion as to the uni- 
versal popularity of this excellent periodical. So 
far as parents are concerned, its success should 
be a matter for general congratulation, as scrup- 
ulous care is evidently observed in excluding 
from its pages everything that could be consid- 
ered as in any way tending to vitiate the minds 
of the young. On the other hand, its contents 
are far superior in vividness of interest for the 
little ones to those sensational publications which 
are the source of so much anxiety to all who 
who have children to educate. Golden Days, 
in fact, appears to have struck the golden mean 
in juvenile literature, and it affords us sincere 
pleasure to be able to chronicle its conspicuous 
popularity. 

Rev. Dr. J. H. Vincent, 

In the January number of the iSunday School 
Journal, writes : Golden Days is the name of 
a paper published in rhiladeliilua,intended espec- 
ially for the young. It is profusely illustrated. 
Its articles are original, and well adapted to 
young people. The Rev. Dr. D. P. Kidder pre- 
pares every week a careful exposition of the In- 



ternational Sabbath School Lesson. The wc',1- 
known aliility, the scholarship, and the Ion,"; 
experience of Dr. Kidder, in writing for the 
young, are sufficient guarantee of success. Pa- 
rents desiring something wholesome, high-toned 
and useful for growing boys and girls should or- 
der a specimen copy of Golden Days of the 
publisher, James Elverson, Philadelphia. 

Golden Days.— It is a child's encyclopedia 
of wonders, facts, enterprise and daring adven- 
tures, biography and poetry, skill and chance 
and scientific delights. It is carefully edited — 
Philadelphia Puhlic Leelger. 

James Elverson, of Philadelphia, publishes a 
a handsome, illustrated and interesting youth's 
paper, called Golden Days. It should find a 
a welcome in evei7 Christian home for the young 
follcs, for the reading is wholesome, and such 
literature should be encouraged by prompt sub- 
scriptions. If the youngsters catch a glimpse of 
it, they will find they need it as a recreation 
after study-hours. — From the Methodist, New 
York. 

From the Committee on Instruction of Girard 
College, 

Phil.vdelphia, May 8, 1882. 
Jambs Elverson, Esq.— Dear Sir :— I am 
directed by the Committee on Instruction of 
Girard College to subscribe for nine copies of 
Golden Days — beingone copy for each section- 
room of the older boys. Yours truly, 

Charles H. T. Collip,

A "Holy Experiment" of a Quaker Statesman. 

two hundred years ago, William Penn with a hundred fol- 
lowers entered the capes of the Delaware after a seven 
weeks' voyage from Deal, England, on the good ship Wel- 
come. He dated his arrival from the 24th day of October, 1682. 
He brought, with him a Rojal Charter from Charles II., for the 
Province of Pennsylvania, and a Frame of Government for the 
Colonj' he was founding, which established, for the first time in 
America, in widest scope and fullest expression, complete civil 



and religious liberty. He arrived at Xew Castle the 27th of 
October, landed the next day and tooli personal possession. On 
the 29th he was in Upland (now Chester), where he held court 
on the 2d of November. The original " Frame of Govern- 
ment " was read to the people in Upland. It was enacted, with 
modifications, into the law of the Province, signed and sealed 
at the Provincial Coimcil in Philadelphia the following April. 
"Wm. Markham, deputy Governor had received possession of 
Penn's Provinces on June 21st, 1681, more than a year 
previous to Penn's arrival in person. The importance of 
this Frame of Government, this American " Magna Charta," 
may be better understood when it is remembered that for 
two centuries Europe had been clouded by stormy <'ivil,

political and religious disturbances. The instruments of peace, 
persuasion and conversion were the army, the jail, the rack, the 
fire, the gibbet, the blocli;, the Star Chamber and the execution. 
These were tlie arguments which were used to suppress every 
struggle of citizens or nations for freedom. Ecligious liberty 
had no abiding place. In the century then past, Spain had bound 
the Netherlands upon the rack, and it had cost her 3-ears of 
struggling and suffering to unwind the toils of the Inquisition. 
The nth century opened with the overthrow of the nobility of 
France and the defeat of the Huguenots by Richelieu. Sir 
Walter Raleigh returned from his discovery of Virginia to have 
his head placed on the bloclv. In the middle of the century the 
great rebellion cost King Charles his head, and gave Cromwell a 
ten 3ears' Protectorate to lay successful siege to Parliament and 
to every stronghold of Britain. The Restoration of '60 was 
followed by Monmouth's fatal rebellion in '85, and by the com- 
pletion of the Revolution, in the abdication of James II, in 
1688. It was a century of great discoveries, great men, great 
deeds. Shakspearc, Bacon, Raleigh, Clarendon, Arundel, Harvey, 
Milton, Bunyan, Cromwell, Newton, Locke, Fox, Penn, Sydney 
many others added to its greatness and gave birth to truths 
and which as they grew, burst the cloths of helpless blindness 
that bigotry and intolerance for centuries had been weaving and 
wrapping about the intellects of the generations as they came into 
the world, much as the Egyptians, centuries before, had wrapped 
mummy cloths about the bodies of those wlio departed from it. 

Before the century expired it witnessed Jeffries' high carnival 
and travesty upon justice ; it witnessed John Bunyan writing 
Pilgrim's Progress in prison ; it witnessed the Tower tilled with 
Bishops who had not soiled their surplices nor seared their con- 
sciences, and with good peace-loving Christians, among them 
William Penn ; it witnessed tlie courts filling tiie prisons with 
Non-conformists who attempted to congregate and worship 
God ; it witnessed, as it neared its end, tlie translation of Sidney 
by the axe of the executioner ; it witnessed the revocation 
of the edict of Nantes by Louis XIY, and the unwilling exile 
of half a million French subjects, the best blood of the realm ;

to America ; but it witnessed no more important event during 
its entire cj'cle than William Penn's "Holy Experiment," in 
which he recognized the inalienable and inherent rights of man 
and founded the Commonwealth of Penns\-lvania with a Frame 
of Government or Constitution providing that " all persons living 
in the Province, who confess and acknowledge the one almighty 
and eternal God to be the creator, upholder and ruler of the 
world, and that hold tliemselves obliged in conscience to live 
peaceably and justly in civil society, shall in no ways be molested 
or prejudiced for their religious persuasion, or practice in matters 
of fiith and worship, nor shall the}' be compelled at anj' time to 
frequent or maintain any religious worship, phice or ministry 
whatever, "and " providing for the matters of liberty and privilege 
that which is extraordinary, by leaving to the Governor and his 
successors no power of doing mischief, tluit the will of one man 
may not hinder tlie good of a whole country, for any govern- 
ment is free to tlie people under it wlien the laws rule, and the 



it witnessed families and colonies fleeing from every part of i people are a party to those laws." 

Great Britain to escape intolerant persecution, and emigrating] It is not possible to extend religious and civil liberty beyond 

this scheme of Government. It has not 
only become the fundamental Consti- 
tutional law of Pennsylvania, but the 
fundamental law of the land and of the 
English speaking people of the world 
Religious and civil liberty were not 
only made a part of the fundamental 
law, but justice and humanity pervaded 
the code throughout. It practically 
abolished the old and sanguinar}' code 
of England, and out of two hundred 
olfences which were there capital, it 
reserved the death penalty for two 
only, the crimes of treason and mur- 
der; it introduced the humanities of 
our present prison system, making the 
object of punishment reformation, 
and ordaining all prisons to be work- 
shops ; it provided that all taxes be 
collected by law only, that persons 
might plead their own causes in 
courts, th.at all children of the age 
of twelve shall learn some useful 
trade, together with many other hu- 
mane provisions.

seut by the Commissioners to be read to them. It was

4iand than usual.] 

. London, 18th of 8th Month, 1081. 

!5Iv Friends — There is one great God and power 
that hath made the world and all things therein, to 
whom you and I, aud all people owe their being 
and well-being, and to whom you and I must one 
day give an account for all that we do in the world. 
This great God hith written his law in our hearts, 
by which we are taught and commanded to love 
and help, and do good to one another, and not to do 
liarm aud mischief one to another. Now this great 
God hath been jjlcased to make me concerned in j'our 
parts of the world, aud the king of the country 
where I live hath given unto me a great province ; 
but I desire to enjoy it with your love aud consent, 
that we may always live together as neighbors and 
friends ; else what would the great God say to us, 
who hath made us not to devouy and destroy one 
another, but to live soberly and kindlj^ together in 
the world? Now I would have you well observe, 
that I am very sensible of the nnkindness and 
injustice that hath been too much exercised towards 
you. by the people of these parts of the woi'ld, wlio 
souglit themselves, aud to make great advantages 
by you, rather than be examples of justice and 
goodness unto you, which I hear hath been matter 
of trouble unto you, and caused great grudgings 
and auimo.sities, sometimes to the shedding of 
bluod, which hath made the great God angry. But 
I am not such a man, as is well known in my own 
country. I have great love and regard towards 
you, and I desire to win and gain your love and 
friendship, by a kind, just, and peaceable life ; and 
the people I send are of the same mind, and shall 
in all things behave themselves accordingly ; and if 
in any tiling any shall offend you or your people, 
you shall have a full and speedy satisfaction for the 
same, by an equal number of just men on both 
sides, that by no means you may have just occasion 
of being offended against them. I shall shortlj^ 
come to you myself, at which time we may more 
largely and freely confer aud discourse of these 
matters. In the mean time, I have sent my com- 
missioners to treat with you about land, and a firm 
league of peace. Let me desire you to be kind to 
them and the people, and receive these presents 
and tokens which I have sent to you, as a testimony 
of my good will to you, and my resolution to live 
justly, peaceably, and friendlj- witli you. 

I am your loving friend,

COAT OF ARMS OF WILLIAM PENN. 

pronounced in the New World until William Penn brought his 
colony to I'ennsylvania. 

In this connection I quote from an address of Gen. W. W. 
II. Davis, made at the Bucks County Bi-Centcnnial, Sept. 1, 1882: 

"William Penn was the first to break the clinins of religious 
tyranny' in tlie British Isles, and to ])roclaim, iu Ameriea, abso- 
lute freedom to worship (!od. When he came to tiie wilderness 
of the Delaware, the pe<)i)le enjoyed only partial religious liberty. 
They who had ptMjjiled the Atlantic slopes renewed in tlie New 
the miserable tyranny they had fled from in the Old World. 
The Puritans in New England, who tolerateil neitlier Quaker 
nor Baptist, hung Mary Dyer and in midwinter, drove Roger 
Williams into tlie woods of Rhode Island where he founded a 
new colony with religions liberty for its corner-stone. Dissenters 
were treated with almost tlie same harshness in Virginia as in 
England. To tlie Catholics of Maryland is due the honor of 
being among the first to approximate religious liberty in the 
New World, all sects being tolerated in Calvert's colony, a great 
concession for tiie period. But it was left for William Penn to 
complete this great work. He bnilded better than his prede- 
cessors. He refused to halt at the half way house of tolera- 
tion, but ordained absolute freedom of re- 
ligious worship to all denominations. He 
was the first law giver in the New World 
to declare that the Church owes no alle- 
giance to the State, which enforced makes 
religion free. He was the first to abolisli 
distinction in rank and break down the 
barriers between clergy and laity. 

" The character and services of William 
Penn are not understood nor appreci.'ited 
at their true value. He is the grandest 
figure in American colonial history. 
Brought up in the influence of the most 
corrupt court of P^urope, he had honesty of 
purpose to mark out .astraiglit course, and 
tiie courage to walk therein. He gave uj' 
all of the allurements of wealth and power, 
and joined a despised sect in obedience to 
his convictions. We nowhere find his 
equal amongthe leaders of men who peopled 
these shores. Among the Puritans of Xew 
England, the Hollanders of New York. 
and the Cavaliers of Virginia, the honor 
is divided among mtiu}'. Calvert, iu Mary- 
land, and Oglethorpe, in Georgia, half a william penns 



century later, came nearer his measure, but they did not 
undertake their work with such lofty aims, nor carry it out 
with such steadfast purpose. Penn will stand for all time 
the central figure. In founding his new Commonwealth he 
realized both his civil and religious convictions. It was his 
work alone. The mere fact of bringing a few thousand immi- 
grants to people the wilderness west of the Delaware is tlie least 
thing to attract attention in making np a correct estimate of 
his career and services to mankind. The great feature is the 
broad and just principles upon which he founded his new State. 
The late Thomas J. Wharton said ' In the early Constitutions 
of Pennsylvania are found the distinct enunciation of every 
gre.at principle, the germ, if not the development, of every valu- 
able improvenicnt in government or legislation, which have been 
introduced into the political systems of more modern epochs,' 
a high compliment from such distinguished authority." 

Admiral Sir William Penn when scarce twentj'-one, just after 
receiving his promotion to a captaincy, married a noble daughter 
of the Netheil.ands, a beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful 
woman, named Margaret Jas])ej;, the daughter of a Dutch mer- 
chant of Rotterdam. Pepy's, in his way, leaves this strong line 
to outline a lady of distinction and character. " Hath been 
pretty handsome, and is now very discreet." To have escaped 
Pepy's gossip, with its double-edged cuts, with so strong a com- 
pliment, is high praise. If a people were ever taiight discretion 
by great trials and long sutfering, it was those people who with- 
stood such seiges as Lej-den and gave support and final victory 
to William the Silent. Out of the refining reaction of the three 
succeeding generations came Margaret Jasper, deep and serious 
in thought, strong and elastic in feeling and delicate and unerr- 
ing in conscience. William Penn became a Quaker because 
Margaret Jasper was his mother. Between him and his mother 
there existed the deepest affection and sympathy. On her knee 
he had learned of the great snfl"ering of her people for conscience 
sake. Later she interposed in his behalf and watched him with 
fond care, .and when turned out ot doors by his_ tiither, she sup- 
ported him. In his young heart he had felt with all the warmth, 
zeal and earnestness of child time, the nn-Christ like persecu- 
tions of Christians in His name. The preaching of Thomas Loe 
at Oxford was the recall of these memories of early days, the 
finding of a voice in the wilderness of his day and countrj', calling 
for truth, and for freedom to follow the inner light and conscience, 
as the same voice had done a century before in the Low Countries 
across the sea. This call reached the early consciousness in him 
and found a willing and pleasing response. 

William Penn was twice married. His first wife was Gulielui.-i 




burial-place, JORDAN'S MEETING HOUSE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND.

JIaria Spriugclt ; the children of this union were 
Springett, Letitia and William. Some years after the 
deatliof liis first wife he married Hannah Calluw- 
liill by whom he had GeliiUlrenof whom .lolin Penu 
onl_v was born in America. He died in London,1718, 
aged 74. There arc a number of liis acts, letters and 
state papers, wliicli ofter a fine study of the sweet 
iin])ulses and strong purposes of his life, and which 
togetlior reveal many sides of the grand, courageous 
and sweet character of a great humanitarian and 
statesman. 

After having sown the seed of his faith in Eng- 
land, tlie Netherlands and America ; after having 
loiuided a nation on Truth and Justice, and after 
many trials, in his own home, in the colony, and in 
England. at the call of his Father"well done thou good 
and faithful servant ; thou hast been faithful over a 
few things, I will make the Ruler over many things ; 
enter thou into the joy of the Lord," he passed out 
nf tliis life, surrounded by fiiends and crowned 
with good works. 

Persoj^al ylppearance of V/illiam Penn. 

Three portraits of William Penn are to be found 
hanging in tliis city upon the walls of the rooms of 
the Pennsylvania Historical Society, and the Penn- 
.^ylvania Historical Museum, in Independence Hall. 
The earliest portrait is in the jiossession of the His- 
torical Society. It is an original portrait of Penn, 
painted about sixteen _years before the settlement of 
Pennsylvania, when lie w.as twenty-two years of 
age. He is painted in armor, as he had not yet be- 
come a Quaker, and cast it aside for the armor of 
,)eace. The superb engraving of him as a young 
man, given on the previous liage, is copied from 
this portrait. The other two are at the Museum. 
One, a bust portrait, is a. copy of a painting in Eng- 
land, said to be original and genuine. It presents 
a handsome, noble-looking man, of about Penn's 
age at the time he founded his Colony, and bearing 
some resemblance to this portrait of his yoiUh. A 
third is the full length presentment of West, in his 
historic picture of ' ' Penn Treating with tlie Indians. " 
This picture does not pretend to be a copy of the 
original. The face and features are outlined and 
moulded from a bust by Lawson. The stout figure 
has probably been drawn that the body might be in 
proportion with the bust model. The dress is that 
of the Quakers of a centur}' after Penn's time. 
Though this portrait has pictui-ed him to the world 
until it is known every wlicre, the best authorities no 
longer credit it with any resemblance to the original. 

The personal appearance of William Penn when 
he landed in Pennsylvania is not well-known. He 
was without doubt handsome in form and fece, of 
lall and elegant carriage, an accomplished gentle- 
man, polished in manners and entirely eonvers- 
aiil with the usages of court society. West's broad- 
lirhu, broad-face, and heavy-set traditional English- 
man, as sliown in his painting of "Penn's Treaty," 
in no wise resembles his picture. 



Certain Conditions or Concisions agreed upon in 
England by VfllHam Penn, Proprietary and Gov- 
ernor of the Province of Pennsylvania, and those 
•who are the Adventurers and Purchasers in the 
same Province, July ii, 1681. 

First. That so soon as It pleaseth God that the 
above said persons arrive there, a cjuantity of land 
or ground plat shall be laid out for a large Town or 
City in the most convenient place upon the river for 
health and navigation, and every purchaser and ad- 
venturer shall by lot have so much land therein as 
will answer to the proportion he hath bought or 
taken up upon rent. But it is to be noted that the 
surveyors shall consider what Roads or Highways 
will be necessary to the Cities, Towns, or through 
the lands. Great roads from city to city not to 
contain less tlian forty feet in breadth shall be 
first laid out and declared to be for highways before 
the Dividend of Acres be laid out for the purchaser, 
and the like observation to l)e had for the streets in 
the Towns and Cities, that there may be convenient 
roads and streets preserved not to be encroached 
upon by any planter or builder that none may build 
irregularly to the damage of another. 

Secondly. That the land in the Town be laid out 
together after the proportion of ten thousand acres 
of the whole country, that is two hundred acres, 
- * those that are by catalogue laid together may 
be so laid together both in the Town and C'ounlry. 

'lUrdly. That when the country lots are laid out,

Hut two liunilied year liave passed since tlie great (Quaker statesman, the 



soldier of the T,f)rd and of (Hdeon only, made this ]iropltccv. and now, witli 
nearly four and a half million souls, a population yroatiM' by a totirlh than that

grown to a great Commonwealth, is secon*! among the states, is destined in the 
near future to become the lirst, ami thereafter t.> be the Keystone-Emi>irc ol' 
the Nation. 



At AVestrainslcT on tlie 4th of March, 1081, 
Charles the Second, King of England, confirmed 
to William Penn, by Royal Charter, signed by 
writ of Privy Seal, the full and absolute pro- 
prietorship, witli I he power to rule and govern, 
of that traclofland in America, known afterward 
as the Province of Pennsylvania. It contained

some forty-six thousand s(iiiare miles of 
surface, and was received in payment of a 
debt of sixteen thousand pounds, owed by 
the King to Sir William Penn. /■ 

What, is now the State of Delaware, and 
■was then named "The Territories," Penn 
oblaincd from His Royal Highness Iho 
I)uk(! of York. These two tracts after 
"Holme's survey, wero divided into three 
counlics each. The counties of the Prov- 
ince wero Philadelphia, Rucks and Ches- 
Icr, and of tlie Territories, Now Castle, 
Kent and Sussex. ~ 

I'ciin took legal possession in IfiSl, and 
])Ci-son,al possession in 1082. One year later 
a luuidred houses had been built, three 
liundred farms settled, ami sixty vessels 
had arrived. Refore another year had 
ended, si.K hundred houses had been built, 
and a promise made to show a province in 
seven years ecpial to her ncighl.iors of forty 
years planting. 

The original settlements of Pennsylv,".- 
nia were made by the Dutch, Sw(!des, 
Fins and a few Knglisli and Irish IJuak- 
er.s, on the banks of the Delaware, and 
the AVelsh on the hanks of the Schuyl- 
kill. Penn camo later and settled Phila- 
delphia. Rucks and Chester. The Dutch 
under Pastauriuscame in 10S4. Thcearly 
colon ies comprised a mosaic of nationalities, 
whicli later settled the State. These in- 
cluded Ensrlish, who were the principal 
settlers until 1712, Scotch-Irish, Welsh, 
Dutch, and a few Swedes and Finns. 
The German ^Menonites and Dunkers 
settled Montgomery, Lancaster, Rerksand 
Lehigh about M0H~~)2 ; the Scotch-Irish 
went inland beyond these settlements after 
1700 and, encircling them, spread southwest 



over the Alleghenies to the Ohio river. The Moravians came to Northampton about 1740-.')3. 
Tlx; Yankees, of Connecticut, 1703, moved into the Wyoming vallej- with the intention of holding 
it as a part of Connecticut, but found lhems(lves held as citizens of Pennsylvania. The North- 
western portion of the State was principally settled by pioneers from the eastern settlements, after 
the Revolutionary war. 

Knoch Flower opened the first school in 
in8:S, a year after the Landing, and in lG8fl, 
three j'ears later, William Bradford jirinted 
the first almanac. Schools and the Press were 
then as they have been since, the keynote of 
the colony. The superstition of New Eng- 
land had no lodgment here. Six months after 
Penn's arrival, a woman was brought before 
liim for witchcraft by a Swede. She was 
speedily tried, found guilty as to reputation, 
I)ut not guilty in manner or form as indicted. 
This speeily dismissal of the first case made it 
tlie last known to the Province. 

Henjamin Franklin was a prominent printer 
and publisher of Philadelphia, before he en- 
tered public life. He printed a newspaper and 
many books. 

Christopher Saiir, of Germantowu, aflor 
Rnullbrd, was one of the first ard largest pub- 
lishers of the countiy. Ho made his own 
types, published several quarto editions of 
the Bible in (xerman, and a large list of 
religious and general pub.ications — Charles G. 
Sower, the publisher, is one ot his descendants. 

" Ry the close of the Colonial age, Philadel- 
jihia had grown to be the centre of a literary 
activity, more vital and versatile than has 
been seen anywhere el.so upon the continent " 
with a single exception. 

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had a ' 
proud founding out of which has como a 
strong life. Here was the first virgin soil 
upon which was planted the purest seed of 
Liberty, freedom of conscience and equalitv of 
rights and privileges. Pennsylvania was the 
firstto do justice to the Red Man. Thepolicyof 
the founder was conceived in Truth and Right, 
andborniu ".lustice and Mercy." SaysPRnid : 

" The views of Williant Penn in the colonization of Pennsylvania 
were most manifestly the best and most exalted that could occupy 
the human mind ; namely to render men as free and happy as the 
nalnro of their existence could posibly bear in their civil capacity, and 
in their religious state, to restore them to those lost rights and 
privileges with which God and nature had original!}' blessed the 
human race. Ho so far brought this to pass so as to excite the 
admirsition of strangers, and to fix th(^ love and honor of pos- 
terit}-." The Irame of Government which he matured and which 
he afterwards gave into the hands of his people to adopt of 
themselves, by themselves, and for themselves, guaranteed in 
clear, distinct terms, full civil and religious liberty to 
all comers. The historic Treaty with the Indians, 
while comprehending the confirmation of the repur- 
chase of the land, had a greater pur- 
pose ; its " sublime purpose " says Ran- 
croff, "was the rccogniiion of the equal 
rights of humanitj'." In this treaty the 
Quaker statesman was enacting Paul's 
gri'at ti'aching, that G<k1 "had made ol 
one blood all nations of men." This act 
of equit\- and justice, unknown to all 
other settlements, attracted the profound 
attention of Europe. It reached Voltaire, 
and moved that cynic to say "This was 
the onl}' "Treaty between those people 
ind Ihe Christians, that was not ratified 
liy oath, and that was never broken." 

It is not siir|irisiiig that a colony which 
]iad been cradled in ilic sublime doctrine of 
tlio "equal rights of humanity" should 
cherish this doctrine, after experiencing 
its manifold blessings for a century, and 
be sensitive to encroachments upon Char- 
ter rights and Constitutional privileges. 
It was entirely natural for its citizens 
to be first to oppose the Stamp Act, and 
to offer active resistance to the Ta.x on 
'fea. 

Pennsylvania >vs naturally became the

where he remained until the following spring. He was a man of superior education 
and ability, having a mind thoroughly practical, ready and abounding in resources, as 
also of a decidedly inventive turn. In 1731 be settled liim.self in agricultural pursuits and 
partly in the practice and dispensing of medicine, for which he was well qualified by his 
I)revious liberal education He kept up an extensive correspondence with friends in Ger- 
many, in which he dwelt upon the destitute condition of his fellow-countrymen in respect to 
books, and especially the Bible. Moved by these appeals, numbers of Bibles were consigneil 
to him to be sold at cost or given gratis to those too poor to obtain them otlierwise 

"At length a printing i)ress and some materials were ■obtained, and as an almanac in Ger 
man seemed to be a most pressing need, he commenced the publication o"f one, the first of 
which was Issued in August, 1738. 

"LTpon issuing the almanac he was immediately besieged from all quarters to commence a 
paper or periodical containing news and such other matter as he might think pioperandusc 
ful. At length he issued on the 20th of August. 1739. the first number of a religious and 
secular journal entitled ' Dcr Hoch-Deutsch Pennsylvanische Geschieht-Schreiberoder Samm 
lung wichtiger Nachrichten aus dem Natur und Kirchen Reich ' After a time the title ot the 
paper was changed, but ander both titles religion and morality are implanted on evciy page. 

"On the Kith of October. 1745, he issued jiroposals for the iniblication of a religious quar 
terly in German, usual octavo size The first number apijeared iu February, 1746. 

"The circulation of the weekly reached eight to ten thousand ot each number. It was 
sent to all parts of the British col jnies, and wicldetl an unbounded influence over the German 
population. The strong religious tendency of its contents harmonized with the spirit of lelig 
ious investigation occupying llie minds ot the German settlers at that time, most of whom bad 
left the fatherland on account of their dissent from the established religion and the independ 
ence with which they promulgated their own views and practiced tbeir religious rights- 

" In the .year 17-43, after three years ot toil, Christopher Sower comiileted a magnificent 
quarto edition of the Bible in the German language The Bible m the English language was 
not printed in America until nearly forty years afterward This first edition of Srwer consisted 
of twelve hundred copies, and was printed from the thirty fourth edition of the Constine Bil;ie 
Society of Halle, which is still considered as the standard bj' which ad others aie corrected 
It contained the third and tcuirth books of Ezra and the third' book of Maccabees, which were 
inserted m the Halle edition of 1708, lint subsequently omitted. He also inserted the seventli 
chapter of the f lurth book of Ezra, which it is believed a]ipears in no other ctlition. 

" It would be impossible here to give an idea ot the diiiiculties encountered in tlie prosecu 
tion of this great undertaking Besides those necessarily attending the mechanical execution 
of the work, selfish and sectarian motives were freely ascribed to him. And so far was this 
hostility carried that clergymen were lound who denounced it lioni their pulpits before it was 
completed. Alter it was completed, he triumiihanily leferied toil as a sufficient reply to all 
the calumnies which had been heaped u])on him, adding the simple but severe rebuke that 
'instead of his Bible being false, it proved them to be fiUifiers.' 

"In carrying on such extensive printing operations he found himself obliged to manufac 
ture his own paper and ink and bind his own books. To overcome the want of type he estali 
lished a type foundry, making not only the type necessary lor lus own use. but to supply 
others in the business. This \vas the first type ti)undiy in America, and aionc would entitle 
Christopher Sower to an honorable position among the founders of our vaiied industry and the 
benefactors of the nation. 

" He wa.> a man of commanding appearance, wearing a long, fl.nving beard, and with a. 
countenance expressive at once of intellect and meekness. In Se))teniber, 1758, he died, aged 
sixty-five years, leaving an only child, a son also named Christopher, born in April, 1721, who 
succeeded in his extensive business, and also enlarged it greatly In 1763 this son completed 
a second edition of the Bible, and in 1776 a third. As all these" editions were published before 
the invention of stereotyping, the type had to be re set for each edition. Besides the Bible, 
newspapers, and almanacs, the younger Christopher published about two hundred other 
works in either the English or German language, most of them large books Several of them 
passed through many editions. He employed "two or more mills in manulacturing jiajier, cast 
his own type, made "bis own printers' ink, engraved his own wood cuts, and bound his own 
publications. He also did an extensive business in putting up and supplying medicines, having 
a store-room devoted to this business entirely. 

"Like his father he was a man of strong mind, an independent thinker, and a ready and 
fluent speaker and writer. Many of the works he ]mblislied were translated by himself, and 
he edited his own papers and periodicals. At an early age he joined the sociefy of German 
Baptists, generally known as Dunkers, and became a minister and bisboii among them. He 
adopted to their "full extent their peace principles and not only declared against war and 
fighting, but was thoroughly non-resistant— refusing even to prosecute or defend a suit in the 
courts, and submitting "to 'every indignity without resistance. He was beloved by all who 
knew him, which included a ia'rge proportion of the German population throughout the colo 
nics. He died August 26, 1784, aged sixty-three years, leaving a large family of children, some 
of whose descendants continue to^devotc "themsel'ves to the useful occupation of their ancestor 
His son, David, Sr., Grandsim, David, .Ir., and Great-Grandson, Charles G. Sower, as well as 
others of his decendants, were printers and publishers. 

Charles G. Sower entered the book-selling trade in 1836 ; in 1845 he couimepced publisii 
ing books, generally school publications ; in 1851 took AVilliam H. Barnes as partner, and eon 
tinued busmess as'Sower & Barnes , in 1858 added F. C. Potts as partner, and continued as 
Sower, Barnes & Co. ; and in 1865 changed the firm title to Sower, Barnes & PottS. The bust 
ness is still continued under the title of Sower, Potts it Co. 

The publication house of Sower, Potts & Co. has been quite fomous in the book trade for 
a number of years. They made a fine exhibit at the Centennial in 1876, receiving several 
medals for their school publications. At the Paris Exposition in 1878 like testimonials were 
received. Among their notable publications is Dr. Emmons's work on Geology, the first 
published for schools illustrated by American fossils. They also issued Colonel Gilpin's "Cen- 
tral Gold Fields of America," which announced the existence of the precious metals in mass in 
Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region long before they were discovered there. The firm 
also publishes the Normal Edueatioiuil Publications, amo'ng which are Brooks's Mathemati- 
cal Series. These works have attained a national reputation and have done much to revolu- 
tionize methods of teaching and text books on the subjects of which thcj treat. ,

Philadelphia and signed in Independence Ilall ; the Confederation -was 
formed here and the Constitution of llie United States adopted ; the Na- 
tional CoTigrcss held its sessions here during the two first Administra- 
tions. Here was the scat of Government 

and the liome of Washington while I'resi- ,' 

dent, and licro he delivered his Farewell ^' 

Address. Fort Duquesne, whicli first intro- 
duced General Washington to public notice 
in military life, was williin the Western bor- 
ders of tlie province. Valley Forge, Ger- 
niantown, and lirandywine are as sacred to 
tlie soil as they are important in Colonial 
history.; In llie last battle Lafayelle was 
l)aptizetl in tlie American service. Three 
times Wasliiiigton and his army crossed the 
State; "on its soil the council of war was 
lield which gave the death Idow to the Brit 
ish Empire in America." The great Com 
mcmwealth of Pennsylvania in the war oi 
tlie Reliellion, added even greater lustre t" W 
tl'.e bearings of her escutcheon. Her recoil ' 
is one of highest patriotism, greatest sacri 
fice and most chivalric deeds. Iler soii> 
were the first to enter the Nation's Capital 
to protect her integrity at the President's 
call for defenders. Four hundred thousand 
others followed them before the war had closed. Their n»mcs and their 
deeds are known to every battlefield, and are famous wherever heroism 
and sacrifice are honored. Her chaplains, surgeons, and nurses did devo- 
ted duty. Iler generals will be found leading the armies of the Union in 
the greatest battles of the war, on the pages of every history of it. The 
field of Gettysburg, the Waterloo of the 
four years' struggle, is spread over her 
hills and valleys. Here Reynolds lost 
his life ; Jleade and Hancock won their 
proudest laurels ; and here the inspired 
Lincoln spoke, "as never man spake." 
The Union League of Pliiladelpbia 
was of inestimable service to tlie coun- 
try in its time of greatest peril ; the 
Sanitary Fair brought tlinusands of dol- 
lars to tlie cause, and the soldiers of every 
State will testify to the unique and uni- 
versal beneficence oft be " Cooper Shop. " 
A history of the war without the history 
of these would be incomplete. 

Pennsylvania, in addition to the ven- 
erable and famous University of Penn- 
sylvania, at Philadelphia, and to many 
good Colleges, Academics and Semina- 
ries, has the tnost democratic and, possi- 
bly, the best ]niblic .school system of 
education in the countiy ; and the finest 
buildings of the towns, other than coun- 
ty-seats, are the school buildings. The 
State expends for school purposes over 
$8, 000,000 annually. The Normal School 
system is the most extensive in the 
country, and includes twelve districts; 
nine of these have schools in successful 
operation, accommodating from three to 
eight hundred students. 

At the close of the Rebellion, ] 864, the 
State of Pennsylvania organized and 
opened Soldiers' Orjilian Schools and 



since that time, out ot the public treasury it has fed, clothed, educated and 
cared for, until sixteen years of age, every soldier's child applying, who 
became an orphan during or since the war. More than twelve thousand 
of these children thus far have been fostered by the State at a total cost of 
87,000,000. This one of the brightest pages of her history, and is a proud 
illustration of the perpetuation of the humanitarian principles of the great 
Founder. The Penal and Charitable Institutions, among these is Girard 
College, of this Commonwealth have, from the first, been unsurpassed. 
The former, for the system of kind treatment and piilicy of reforma- 
tion, as the latter for their numb(M-, liberalitj-, and devotionto the suffer- 
ings of every class. 

Though the youngest of the Thirteen Colonies which united to achieve 
Independence, Pennsylvania is now first in the development of material 
resources and second in population. Its sources of substantial wealth 
are not equaled jirobably by any other territory of like size in the c ountry . 
The soil is rich and productive, making Agriculture an important indus- 
try ; its anthracite and bituminous coal fields are very extensive, and prac- 
tically inexhaustible, yielding now together, 66,0li0.000 tons annually : 
vast iron ore and limestone beds are found in many sections ; also, copper, 
lead, and zinc mines, and extensive slate, marble and sandstone quarries. 
The great coal oil fieldsof the world are in its nortli- western counties, and 
its lumber forests have produced yearly millions upon millions of feet of 
lumber. Iron and steel production and manufactures are far creater than 
in any other State.— in 1881, that ot steel being 1, WO, .518" tons. The 
chemical jiroduct, the same year, was $100. 000, 000. Glass, bricks, porce- 
lain, and mineral wares are all largely manufactured. The best cotton 
and woolen textile'fabricsof every kind and variety, are produced in fabu- 
lous quantities. More carpets and hosiery are made here than in all of the 
other States. Iron steamship building at Philadelphia and Chester is mak- 
ing the Delaware, the American Clyde. The locomotive works and car 
shops are the most extensive in the country, perhaps in the world. Rail- 
road lines cross the State like highways, and 
make every part of it quickly accessible. 
The Pennylvania Railroad, the first railway 
to the Ohio, is now the best made, bestcquip- 
ped, most comfortable, and most perfectly 
organized railroad in any country. The 
Reading Railroad is the most important coal- 
carrying company, and is fast taking rank as 
a passenger line. 'The flat boating and steam- 
boating on the Ohio and its branches, the 
shipping on Lake Erie, and the commerce on 
the ocean arc^ all important. The only line 
of steamers carrying the American tlag to 
Europe, is from the port of Philadel- 
a.

The Preface. 

When tlie great and wise God had made the 
world, of all his creatures it jileased him to choose 
man liis deputy to rule it ; and to fit liim for so great 
a c-liarge and trust, lie di<l not only qualify him 
with skill and power, but with integrity to use them 
iusllv- This native goodness was his honor and 
his happiness ; and whilst he stood here all went 
well ; there was no need of coercive or compulsive 
means ; the precept of divine love and truth in his 
bosom was the guide and keeper of his iunoceucy. 
But last prevailing against duty, made a lamentable 
breach upon it; and the law, that before had no 
power over him, took place uijon him and his dis- 
honest posterity, that such as would not live con- 
formably to the holy law within, should fall under 
the reproof and correction, of the first law without, 
in a judicial administration. 

***■»■•»* * 

For particular frames and models, it will become 
me to say little ; the age is too nice ; there being 
nothing the evils of men are more busy and divided 
upon. * * Men side with their passions against 
llieir reason, and their sinister interests have so 
strong a bias upon their minds that they lean to 
them against the good things they know. 

Secondly. I do not find a model in the world, 
that time, place and some singular emergencies 
have not necessarily altered ; nor is it easy to frame 
a civil government, that shall serve all places alike. 

ThinUi/. I know what is said by the several ad- 
mirers of the three common ideas of government, 
lint I choose to solve the controversy with small 
distinctiuction and it belongs to all three ; any gov- 
ernment is free to the people under it (whatever be 
the frame) where the laws rule, and the people are 
a party to those laws, and more tlian this tyranny, 
oligarchy and confusion. But lastly, when all is 
said, tliere is hardly o'ne frame of governs cent in 
the world so ill designed by its founders', ihat in 
good hands would not do well enough, and story 
tells us, the best in ill one's can do nothing that is 
great or good ; witness the Jewish and the Roman 
states. Government,s, like clocks, go from the mo- 
tion men give them, and as governments are made 
and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. 
Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, 
than men upon governments. Let men be good and 
the government cannot lie bad ; if it be ill, they will 
cure it. But if men lie had, let the government be 
never so good, they will endeavor to spoil and warp 
to their turn. 

I know some say, let us have good laws, and no 
matter for the men that execute them ; but let them 
consider, that though good laws do well, good men 
do better ; for good laws may want good men and 
be abolished or'invaded by ill men ; but good men 
will never want good laws nor suffer ill ones. 
'Tis true, good laws have some awe upon ill minis- 
ters, but that is where they have not power to 
escape or abolish them, and the people are generally 
wise 'and good ; but a loose and depraved people 
(which is to the question) love laws and an admin- 
istration like themselves. That therefore lohieh mdkes 
a good coiistUiUion must keep it, mz : men of inmlom 
(ind mrtite, qnnlities that becimne they descend not 
with wordly inheritimceii, must be propagated by a 
virtuous education of youth, for which after ages will 
owe more to the care and prudence of founders, 
and the suecessive magistracy, than to their jiarents 
for their private patrimonies. 

We have (with reverence to God and good con- 
.scieuce to men) to the best of skill contrived and 
composed the Frame and Laios of this government, 
to the great end of all government, viz : to support 
power m reverence with the people, and to secure the 
peojile from the abuse of power ; that they may be 
free by their justobedience, and the magistrates hon- 
orable for theirjust administration ; for liberty whh- 
out obedience in confusion and obedience without 
liberty is slavery. To carry this evenness partly ow- 
ing'to the Constitution and jiartly to the magistracy, 
where either of these fails, government will bo sub- 
ject to convulsions, but where both are wanting, it 
must be totally subverted ; then when both meeting 
the governm(!ut is likely to endure. Which I hum-

THE HISTORY 



OF 



Prang's p^irie ^rt PiiblisMiig jiouse. 



A liappy combination of clianco, and a good idea, ntay be said to be tlie foun- 
dation stones to this great house. A strolve of chance a quarter of a centnry 
ago removed Louis Prang fnim the wood engravers' bencli to the lithographic 
jiress and the idea of raising Chromo-lithography, then in its crude infancy in 
this country, to a fine art, has given ns the numlicrlcss art productioir foi*\vhich 
the hou.se of L. Prang & Co. is now so well known and has given the stimulus 
the world over, for the astonishing progress iir ihe art of Chromo-lithography 
which just now is bringing the refining influence of art within the reach of all 
classes. Scarcely a festive occasion, be it Christmas, New Year, Birthd;iy, or 
even a dinner party is now considered complete without the cnricliment of the 
chromo-litliograjjhic-art in beautiful designs, especially prepared for stich occa- 
sions. 

In America, Boston may be said to be the birthplace of all these objects of 
beauty, as here Mr. Prang, the founder of the house of L. Prang & Co., began 
his busine.ss career in 1856. Such, however, has been the development of the 
business started by him, that the firm has now branches and agencies in Phila- 
delphia, New York, Chicago, San FrancLsco, London. Berlin, and Melbourne. 

The beginning of this now immense business was of the most modest kind. 
The cash capital was sufficient for the purchase of but one hand-press and a few 
lithographic stoiaes. Enthusiasm, indomitable courage and hard work had to 
<lo the rest, and out of these elements the present business has grown. One 
simple principle Mr. Prang made the basis of whatever he undertook to do ; 
this was, that no matter what might he the nature of the work that he had to 
do, ho would try to do it better than it had been done before. This principle 
he applied inflexibly to low-jiriced as well as high-priced work, and in all his 
undertakings his idea of improving them meant, putting more art into them. 

The prodtiction of Labels and Show-cards furni.shed the main work during 
the first four years of the business. In this period Mr. Prang revolutionized 
the style of this kind of work from the finical, whimsical style of ornament that 
freely prevailed, to the simple and broad means of representing objects which is 
now universally followed, in fact has become so common as to be well exem- 
plified on the fruit and preserve cans, which help to brighten with their decor- 
ated exteriors, the grocery stores as well as the pantries of our households. 

The breaking out of the war of the rebellion gave another great opportunity 
to Mr. Prang. The finst .shot at Fort Sumter closed his job business abruptly, 
without a moment's warning, just as it did many another biLsiness enterprise 
throughout the land ; but while one business was closed another was opened, 
and this was tlic wide field for publishing War Maps and Portraits of Generals 
and Heroes of the war. Mr. Prang at once occupied tliis field, and for a time 
his presses were supplied with necessary work, and the bu.siness was greatly en- 
larged. With the success thus gained, Mr. Prang turned his attention again to 
the more peaceful objects of his fancy, and set him.self to the task of developing 
the chromo-lithographic art in still higher directions. - 

In the production of Album Cards in colors, such as butterflies, birds, wild 
flower.s, autumn leaves, etc., etc., he made steady and rapid progress until ho

of his city wore like th(xse of hi- 
j;i)vernment : plain and simple. 
y(rt broad as the future, and ail 
luittingof unlimited and harnio- 
niiius iirowth and e.\tensiiin. The 
Founiler expected much of his 
colony, but in his brii;htest hopes 
he could hardly liave im- 
agined that a city which 
lie located, planned and 
surveyed with such care, 
would so soon stretch far 
beyond the Treaty Klin, 
and exceed the area of 
Ibe London of his time; 
that in two hundred 
years his plans would 
include a po])ulation of 
of nearly a inillion souls. 
Norcould he havedcaiiy 
foreseen that the prin- 
ciples of justice and 
mercy which he planled 
in the Frame of Govern- 
niiml with such high wis- 
dom and broad humanity 
would ,<;row into a vis^or- 
ous life, which woidd 
mould and vitalize the 
political and constilii- 
tional institutions of 
other States and of the 
Nation itself, and have 
a])otential, and moral in- 
tluence upon the civil and 
religious life and civiliza- 
tion of the New AVorlil. 
On I he site of Philadel- 
phia cluster more stirring 
events of Constitutionai, 
National and historic in- 
terest than in any other 
place in America. It is 
only necessary to recall, 
iwo centuries ago, the 
Forming of the Great 
Law (Tal)leau 3), the 
uiiiipur und never lo be 
forgotten Treaty (Tab- 
leau 2), and all iliose 
events of that time re-

ci(uality, religious liberty 
and freedom of con- 
Kiaence. A century later

Slate House Sipiare, and vigilance committers a]ipoinled. Self constitu 
ted "Tarring ami Feathering " committees sent letters of warning to the 
Captain. The consignees declined the cargo, und the unloaded vessel 
with its stubborn captain, were returned to England. This act, says an 

English publication of the time, 
was the first overt act of the colo- 
nies, which led lo their indepiuul- 
encc. The stirring events which

largely centered in this city as 
was shown in tlic previous article. 
So, a hundred years later, I'bila

the country, as the old Keystone, 
with its half-a-milliiui mustered 
sons, and the Great WarGovernor

mented itself at home into a 
powerful moral, financial and

lA'ague ; it created the Great 
Sanitary Fair of the War ; it

OF fyte GOLOJ^IE^. 

S FEBRfART, lGOG-7. 
[On tlie 8tli of FebriMiy, l(J!)G-7. William Penn pre- 
sented to tlie Boai'd ot Trade a scheme tor a f^enei-al 
Union, legislative us welt as executive, of all the colo- 
nies, whicli, as lie submitted, would be tiseful not only 
to the Enfrlish crown, but " to one another's peace and 
safety, with an universal conuunence."] 

"A Briefe and Plaine Scheam how the English 
Colonies in the North parts of America, Viz : Bos- 
ton Connecticut Road Island New York New .ler- 
seys, Pensilvania, Maryland, Virginia and Carolina 
may be made more nsefull to the Crowne, and one 
anothers peace and safty with an universal] concur- 
rence. 

" 1st. That the severall Colonies before mentioned 
do meet once a year, and oftener if need be, dui-iiig 
the war, and at least once in two years in times of 
peace, by their stated and appointed peputies. to 
debate and resolve of sudi measures as are most 
adviseable for their belter understanding, and tlie 
publick tranquility and safety. 

"i. That in order to it two persons well quali- 
fied forscnce soliriety and substance be appointed by 
each Province, as their Representatives or Deputies, 
which in the whole make the Congress to consist fit 
twenty persons. 

"3. That the Kings Commissioner for that pur- 
pose specially appointed shall have the C'haire and 
preside in the said Congresse. 

" 4. That they shall meet as near as conveniently 
may be to the most ceutrall Colony for ease of the 
Deputies. 

"5. Since that may in all probability, be New 
York both because it is near the Ceiiter of the 
Colonies and for that it is a Frontier and in the 
Kings nominalion, the Gov of that Colony may 
tberefoVe also lie the Kings High Commissioner dur- 
ing the Session afier the manner of Scotland. 

"0. Tliat their business shall be to hear and ad- 
just all matters of Complaint or difference between 
Province and I'rovince. As 1" where pei'sons quit 
their own Province and goe to another, that they 
may avoid their just debts tho they be able to pay 
tlieni. 2'' where oll'enders Hy .Justice, or Justice caii- 
not well be had upon such oflenders in the Province 
that ciitertaiue them, 3'"-^ to prevent or cure iniuries 
in point of commerce, 4"!, to consider of ways and 
means to support the tmion and safety of these 
Provinces against the publick enemies. " In which 
Congresse the Quotas of men and charges will be 
much easier, and more equally sett, then it is possi- 
ble for any establishment made here to do ; for the 
Provinces, knowing their own condition and one 
anothci-s, can debate that matter with more freedome 
and satisfaction and better adjust and ballance their 
allairs in all respects for their common safety. 

"7''Tliat in times of war the Kings High Com- 
missioner shall be genei-all or Chief Commander of 
the severall Quotas upon service against the Com- 
mon enemy as he shall be advised, for the good and 
benefit of the whole." 



Teaclied the climax by successfully reproducing original works of .^iucli master 
painters as Murillo, Corregio, Eastman, Johnson, Bierstadt, Moran, Hart, Dc 
Ilaas, Tait and others, and hrlnging these works of fine art by his chromo re- 
production.';, Avithin the reach of all classes. 

The word chromo, which has made thb tour around the world, was coined by 
Mr. Prang, and was by him adopted to designate his best reproductions of Oil 
and "Water color paintings, but as the title of "Chromo" became popular- 
through his efforts to popularize art, this ver}- name was pirated by itn.scru- 
pulotts competitors, and soon any color-daub sailed under this honored flag. 
The firm seeing the drift of the avalanclie, soon adopted the distinctive designa- 
tion for its publications, of " Prang's American Chromos," and still continues 
to issue most acceptable pictures under this classification. 

So succcessful was Mr. Prang in this direction that Europe even conceded the 
palm of superiority to America in this particular branch of art work. Mr. 
Prang's success with his chromo reproductions was so complete, that European 
competitors entered the field, some in a most worthy manner, but most of them 
on a much lower plane, and by flooding the market with cheap and inferior 
productions, they disgusted the finer sensibilities of the patrons of the chromo, 
until this very name became a by-word to designate all sorts of false art-work 
foisted upon an unsuspecting, receptive and generous public. 

At the World's Exposition at Vienna in 1873, Prang's American chromos 
received the distinction of fir.st-class recognition; also in Philadelpliia, ISTCi, 
again in Paris, 1878, and in Sidney and Melbourne in 1881 and 1882, respec- 
tively. 

At the Vienna Exhibition, the Chromo advertising card which has since 
taken tlie business men by storm, took its rise. Mr. Prang had prepared 20,00() 
chromo business cards for the use of his firm, which were distributed to the 
public. This device pleased so well that returning home he found himself be- 
set with orders for similar cards from business houses, and soon the fashion was 
set, and outrun all conception. Millions upon millions he had to furnish, and 
the variety and ingenuity of design is too well known to every man, woman, 
and child in this and all countries, to require enlarging itpon. 

The Chromo bu.siness card became a mania. Lithographic firms all over the 
world vied with each other in productivenes.s, and the whole lithographic busi- 
ness received thereby an impulse which put the manufacturers of pres.ses to their 
wits' end for rapid productions, and which made the lithographic arti.'^ts and 
jHinters, persons of distinction and receivers of fat salaries. 

The Christmas Card as we know it at the present time, was an outgrowth or 
tran.sformation of this Chromo advertising card, and in this metamorphosis, 
Mr. Prang again appears as the pioneer. Although England had produced 
Christmas and New Year's cards for a long period, it was Mr. Prang who first 
made the use of -these cards widely popular in England, and started tlieir pro- 
duction as a distinct business enterprise. The English trade will not soon for- 
get the year 1875, when the public almost unanimously called on them for the 
American Christmas Cards, with their realistic flowers on black background. 
The praise of these cards was universal, and they were extensively copied by 
London publishers. The demand was so great, that the Boston house could not 
furnish sufficient supplies to meet it. 

The succei^s which " Prang's Christmas Cards" met with in England was soon 
followed by their introduction into the American market where their popu- 
larity is well known. To the productions of these cards, Mr. Prang has applied 
the simple principles wit li which he started his business career — that of con.stant 
improvement — and all are grateful witnesses of the development and improve- 
ment of the Christmas Cards under his hand. Mr. Prang's efforts in this direc- 
tion have been as striking as they have been original. Each year has .shown a 
steady improvement. 

To stimulate artists to the highest efforts, L. Prang & Co. orgatiized Prize 
Competitions, at which liberal suras of money were offered for designs which 
should be judged by a jury of the most eminent artists of the country to be the 
most deserving. Several of these prize competitions have been held, which have

First Anierican Opposition to Tax on Tea at PtiiladelpMa. 

In 1767. in consequence of the Wll of Parliament imposing duties on tea, 
(flass. paper, &c., all of the principal merchants and business men of Phila- 
dcli)hiasignecl non-importalion resolutions. 
The agitation was continued, and meetings 
lield until October 18, 1873, wlien learning 
tliat the ship Polly, Capt, Ayres, with tea, 
was insid(> tlie capes, a town meeting was 
lield whieli resolved not to allow the tea 
to be landed. The sliip was stopped at 
Gloucester ; Capt. Ayer came to Phila- 
delphia in charge of a committee. A 
meeting was held in which he became 
satisfied that he would not he allowed to 
land his tea ; \u- therefore boarded his ves- 
.sel and returned. The following letters 
give such a graphic picture of the feejing 
at the time that w(! insert them. The 
throwing overboard of the tea at Boston, 
followeci tlu; action of the cili/.ens of 
Philadelphia. An English publication of 

I he time, in printing those two letters*, 
says ; 

The original handbills of the committee 
for Tarritig and Feathering subjoined, are 
of singular interest, as they were the 
earlii-sl emanations of the spirit that led to 
England's losing her American colonics, 
ami the consequent rise of the United 
Stat(^s :— 

7a Capt. Ayres, of the S/iip Poll//, on a 
Vo/jai/e from Loudon to PhUitddphia. 

Sin : We are iDform<:d 
that you have impru- 
drnlly, taken Charge; of 
a Quant i ty of Tea ; 
which has been sent out "- 

by the India Company. 
under t/m Auspices of t/if 
MinUtr//, as a Trial ■ of 
A m e r i e a n Virtue a nd 
Resolution. 

Now, as your Cargo, 
"n your .\rrival here, 
will most assuredly bring 
you into hot watel' ; and 
as you are perhaps a 
Stranger ti tliese Paris, 
we havecoiiehided to ad- 
vise j'oii of the present 
Situation of Affairs in 
I'kihidrlph ill — t hat, tak - 
ing Time by 1 he Forelock, 
yon may slo]) short in 
your dangerous Errand 
— secure your ship 
against the Rafts of com 
luislilile Matter which 
may be set on Fire, and 
turned loose against her ; 
and more than all this, that you 
may jireserve your own Per.son, 
ti-om the Pitch and Feathers that 
are prepared for you. 

In the first Place, wc must tell 
you that the Pennsyhianians are, ^) 

II Man, passionately fond of Free- 
dom ; the Birthright of A/ftfrtea/f.i; 
and at all Events are determined 
to enjoy it. 

That they sincerely believe, no 
Power on the Face of the Earth 
bus a right to tax them without 
tbeh- Consent. 

That in their Opinion, the Tea in 
your Custody is designed by the 
Ministry to enforce such a Ta.x. 
which they will undoubtedly op 
pose ; and in so doing, give j'ou 
everv possible Obstruction. 

Wc are nominated to a very dis 
agreeable, but necessary Service. 
— To our care are committed all 
Offenders against the Rights of 
America ; and hapless is he, whose 
evil Destiny has doomed him to 
suffer at our Hands. 

You are sent out on a diabolical 
Service : and if you are so foolish and obstinate as to complete your Vov- 
age ; by bringing your Ship to Anchor in this Port ; vou may fun such" a 
Gauntlet, as will mduce you, in your last Moments, niost hea'itilv to curse 
those who have made you the Dupe of their Avarice and .\mbition. 




"What think you Captain of a Halter around your Xeck — ten Gallons of 
liquid Tar decanted on your Pate — with the Feathers of a dozen wild Geese 
laid over that to enliven your Appearance? 

Only think seriously of this — and fly to the Place from whence you 
came — fly without Hesitation — without the Formality of a Protest — ^ivnd 

above all. Captain A//rts let us advise you 
to fly without the wild Geese Feathers.

In our second Letter we acquainted you

We are now iuformed'by good Authori-

The Captain is a short fat Fellow, and 
a little obstinate withal. — So much the 
worse for him. — For, so sure as he rides

AbKtract of Letters from. William Peun Pniprie- 
tiiry o/Pennsilvariia, to P. F. &c. Dated iit Upland, 
Nov. 1. and from "West-River, Decemb. IG, Mary- 
land, 1()83, iiublislied on false reports of his death. 

That of November, 1, 1()83, .signifying his safe 
Arrival, and that day si.\ weeks they lost sight of 
Land in Kiir/lnnd, they saw it in Amerira : and be- 
ing about twelve Leagues off from the Coast, the 
Air smell'd as sweet as a Garden new blown. As 
they 8aird up the River they received Visits and 
Invitations from the Inhabitants, the People being 
Joyful to see him, both Duteh, Swedes, and EiigUsh 
coming up to New Castle, they received and enter- 
tained him with great expressions of Joy after their 
sort. 

Ne.\l day after his Arrival, he had the People 
summon'd together to the Courthouse at New- 
Castle, where possession was legally given him ; 
and after that he made a Speech to the old Magis- 
trates, and the People, signitying to them the end 
of his coming, the I4ature and End of Government, 
and that especially he came to Establish, assuring 
them ijf their Spiritual and Temporal Rights, Lilierty 
of Conscience and Civil Freedoms; All he pray'd 
expected or required, was Sobriety Loving Neigh- 
bour-hood ; then he renewed their Commissions 
and so left them. He went from thence to a place 
called Uphmd, where he called an Assembly, anil 
gave them as ample satisfaction as at Netr> Viixtic, so 
they Signed an Acknowledgment, and were very 
Joyful : The Sireden sent one Captain Lfiey Cmik 
(Lacy Cock. — Ed.) to acquaint him, Thei/ irould 
Serve. Love, and Ul/ey him with all they had, niid 
thiit it won the best day they crer saw. 

The Ciiy n( J'hilndelphiii is laid out and begun, 
and many" pretty Houses are run up of late upon 
the River and backwards, that do very well. An 
House for IK Pe7iii is a I?uilding, whose Family, 
that went with liim, are all come safe ; and Entei-- 
taimnent for all l)eyond expectation, and to their 
content. The Air is exceedingly clear and sweet, 
the Food good and plentiful, and as jileasing as one 
can cat. There is also good Malt Drink ; In fine, 
the Country is without Exceplion. Al Nrir-Conlli' 
the Dutch have their Food much as in Llolliiiid, and 
have curious Sallaling &c. Excellent Rread, bolli 
of "Wheat and Mastin, Entjtish grain. 

The IndiiihS they saw ; the men were strong and 
Tall, the "Women comely, as some Gipsies are in 
R'iKjIiuid ; the Children very prelly ; they all weav 
some ('lollies, and some of them wear Broggs. 

From ItV"' Pirei; Miiry-hiitd, Dectvih. i(i, KlSi. 
he writes. That an Assembly was held at Vhexti r 
alias I'lilaiid. where New-C'ustle was annexed to 
I'eiin.nlrd/iiii: The Foraigners were Naturali/.'d, 
and all the Laws ])ast that were agreed upon in h'ng- 
lintd, and more fully worded. The Assembly-men 
were there to tln'ir great satisfaction, and such an 
Assembly for Love, Unity, and Concord, scarcely 
ever was known in and about outward things in 
those Parts. This done, they Adjourn'd ; and U'. 
Penii took his Journey for Mary-land, where he was 
kindly received liy the Lord Bidlimore, and llie 
Chief in his Province: They Treated at one Col. 
ToyUirs, about setling the bounds between their 
Provinces . And a solid Conference they had, pre 
paratory to a future Conclusion, llie season permit 
ting noloiig Essays or Tn-aties. They civilly parted 
after two Dales Conference. 

The day following the Lord Uiilliiiinre Aceom 
|)ani(d him to IC. liirhiirdnons, wliich was '! miles, 
and thiMt returned : They went two miles farther, 
to one 'I'ho. Hodkers, to a Meeting, where the pres- 
ence of the great (iod was enjoyed with them. 

The firstday following he intended to be at Chop- 
lank on the Eastern Shore, where the C^oloiuls. 
Magistrates and Peoiile of several Ranks and CJuali 
ties proposed lo be. 

I hope therefore this short Scrutiny and Abstracts, 
will satisfie those, who are not willing to ludieve 
Lii!S, and also Caution others lo be careful how 
they Report things upon Hearsay, to the Defama- 
tion of the Innocent. Published in sincerity by him 
who is a Lover of Truth but a hater of Falsehood,

tended to develop not only the work of .'irtists in this special direction, but also 
tlie critical judgment of the gretit pul)lic, and the consequent great demand for 
the beso and highest and pure.st "work in art. 

England and Germany again soon followed the example set by their Ameri- 
can pioneer, and spent fortunes in prizes for original designs, until it can be said 
that the best thought which the art-genius of the civilized world can show, is 
now devoted to the production of so apparently insignificant a subject as the 
Christmas Card. A comparatively small sttm may now procure a work of art 
in color which five vears ago it would have been impossible to obtain for ;iny 
sum whatever. 

The Birthday Card, the Easter Card, the Thanksgiving Card, the Valentine 
Card followed in the wake of the Christmas Card quite naturally, until now the 
))roportions which this branch of lithographic art jtublishing has attained are 
marvelous and beyond computation. But in spite of all com})etition, European 
or Americtm, "Prang's Cards" still take the lead, and the bu-siness he created 
is the model for his enterprising followers. The development of the immense 
business of L. Prang & Co. is due to Mr. Prang's idea to raise chroiao-litho- 
graphy in America to ''the level of a fine art." That is the task he deliberately 
set hiiuself to accomplish and in looking at the results, we have to consider 
that they are the products largely of his own work, that they have been pro- 
dttced in a coitntry new to art and in a city almost destitute ofi the facilities 
necessary for the pur.suance of the technical work — a city in fact where every- 
thino- had to be created or imported from abroad. It is oi"ily when the.se condi- 
tions are fully realized, and the difficulty of overcoming them understood, that 
the marvelous success' which the house of L. Prang & Co. has reached, can be 
fully appreciated. The record of the firm is something to be proud of, and the 
career of Mr. Prang rnay well stimulate the aspiration of a young man entering 
upon a career of life where difficulties present them.selves to be conquered. 

But L. Prang & Co. have not been satisfied with catering for the pleasure of an 
icsthetic public. I n 1875 they resolved to do their share in furni.shing facilities for 
giving instruction in lndu.strial Art in the imblic schools. The practical gen- 
itis of our jieople, looking to pos.sible development of our industries, discerned 
the advisability of giving our youth a training in the language u.sed in our 
work- -shops and in our inditstrial enterprises generally, viz : the expression of 
ideas by drawing. Industrial drawing is now considered by the highest educti- 
tional authorities as of fundamental importance in a training for a practical life, 
and the pulilic schools in all the principal cities of the country are now giving 
iustritction in drawing as ;i ftmdaineuttil feature in iiitlilic education. To aid in 
tins work, li. Prang & Co. brought their simjile business principles forward and 
«',t abotit providing better and more comiilete facilities for giving instruction i,. 
the schools. They enlisted the co-operation of prominent educator,?, specialists 
and teachers, and they have produced a course of study iti Drawing which stands 
without a rival in its completeness and its practicability. So .satisfactory have 
been its results that it has been introduced inio the public schools of nearly all 
the leading cities of the country. It has been introduced into the public .schools 
of Philadelphia and this city cpiite lately h:id an exhibition in its magnificcm 
temple of tiie fine arts, of the pujiils and 1ca,cliors of the imblic .schools which 
w:is visited by nearly 100,000 persons, and it is not necessary therefore 
to enlarge upon the result of the work there exhibited. Esough that France 
has sent its commission to America to stttdy the working of the method in our 
public schools and has pronounced in most unetpii vocal terms for its superiority 
over all other systems and has adojited essentially its features for her own puli- 
lic schools. 

The future will undoubtedly open new fields of enterprrse for the house of 
L. Prang & Co., ai"id there is no doubt but that the spirit of improvement which 
has guided their efforts so far will not be wanting in whatever they may under- 
take, either in the line of art or educational publishing.

ILLUSTRATED SKETCH-BOOK AND OFFICIAL PEOGRAMME. 



'ijiZ PI^0(3R/I]VI]VLE. 

The Publication Committee have performed 
an arduous work in a period of time, almost in- 
credible to those experienced in the dilBculties 
to be met with at everj- step. Little more than 
a fortnight before the time for the Official Pro- 
gramme to be issued, efforts in other directions 
to secure the preparation of one having failed, 
the General :Mnnager and some of the members 
of the Executive Committee urgently requested 
a number of gentlemen belonging to the Asso- 
ciation to undertake the work in order to pro- 
vide a printed record and souvenir of this im- 
portant historic occasion. The Celebration was 
so nearathand that but twelve working days were 
left in which to edit, illustrate and print tliis vol- 
ume for the Bi-Ceutennial Association. To ac- 
complish this, some of the best artists were at 
once enlisted. Sixteen presses and five binderies 
have been worked day and night. It would 
have been easy to have made a simple pro- 
gramme, but in the spirit of the Association, the 
Committee have aimed to present Sketches, His- 
torical Documents, Historical Buildings, Illus- 
trations of Pageants, etc., and to furnish visitors 
information which will redound to the honor 
and standing of the City and the Coiumon- 
wealth. 

The cover designed by the Committee has 
been so beautifully executed and printed by the 
best artists, as it is lioped, to make it a worthy 
historic and art souvenir of the event. The en- 
graving of William Penn is believed to be the 
finest engraving ever made of the Founder. The 
pictures of the New Public Buildings, the Ridg- 
way Library, and the Masonic Temple, thought 
to be the three finest buildings iu the world 
of their kind, the School of Design, and the 
two jNlonuments commemorating Religious Lib- 
erty and General Meade, were prepared espe- 
cially for this Programme at the instance of the 
Committee. 

The work is done, and fm-ty thousand copies 
have been printed and bound tor the Celebration. 
Whatever defects are found the Committee trust, 
will be charged by a charitable public to a 
sore need of time. They have worked con- 
scientiously to present many interesting papers 
and other matter particularly appropriate to the 
occasion. Whether they have or have not 
reached what ouglit to have been accomplished, 
they hand their work over, knowing that they 
have done their best in the time allotted them. 
In doing so they wish to say that but for the 
. kindness of others they would have been wholly 
unable to do what they have done. They are 
under obligations to many, and they here wish 
to make public acknowledgment of the speci;il 
favors extended to them by

Popular Opinion is I^ight. 

Men may oppose it as much as they choose, but 
in the end popular opinion is always right. 
Sometimes it goes wrong for a few months, or 
for a few years, but in the end it comes down to 
an exact and unanswerable decision. It becomes 
at last an opinion of that supreme court of the 
world in which every side is weighed and the 
case is heard again and again on countless ap- 
peals, until at last no possibility of error exists. 
Even the most galling truths must be accepted 
after such an ordeal of inquiiy. If the well- 
canvassed public opinion says that a man is not 
a good poet or a good preacher, or a good teacher, 
il is well to accept the verdict and try fanning 
at once. But what public opinion accepts and 
endorses, it is folly to oppose. Thousands upon 
thousands during the past thirty-eight years have 
endorsed Ileckcr's Buckwheat till at last it has 
settled down into a fiivorable popular opinion 
which no longer admits of reasonable doubt. 



Ii^stantarieously. 

Electricity has rendered it possible for luisi- 
ness men to have much of their work done iji- 
stantaneously. It, is useless to oppose the pro- 
gress of the age. JIany people who declare that 
they do not touch anything in the shape of a 
proprietary article, sleep all the sounder because 
their spring mattress is a patent one ; eat all the 
more heartilj- because their coffee is cooked in a 
patent pot over a patent range, but many old 
ways remain in liouse-keeping which cause delay, 
and not that alone, but infinite dissatisfaction 
also. If a woman's work coidd be done as in- 
stantaneously as a man's, then there would be 
more time for rest and the cultivation of many 
desirable things. And however much a man may 
desire the good things which come out of the 
kitchen, he does not admire a woman who is 
never away from it. The truly admired house- 
keeper is the one who goes into the kitchen, and 
by using Ileckcr's Self-raising Buckwheat, makes 
up her cakes instantaneously and returns smil- 
ing with satisfaction in tlie shortest possible time. 



jiaste V/ithout Waste. 

This, like the wish of Mticlietli, would he ''a 
consummation devoutly to be wished for," but 
how shall it be attained? Every act of haste in 
life, from the race after a departing train down to 
the effort to button one's shirt collar in a hurry, 
seems to mean wear and waste, and to iu\-olve 
the loss of baggage and buttons in almost every 
case. The old proverb, in spite of countless at- 
tacks upon its correctness, still holds the ground. 
But in comparison with the new hand in the 
shop, or the beginner at the machine, the work 
of the skilled hand seems very quick, and the 
novice is the one who wastes the most, although 
doing the work less rapidly. We often wonder 
wliy women waste their time in trying vainly to 
arrive at the exact proportions of soda, salt and 
flour, when the Self-raising Flour put up by the 
skilled employees of Geo. V. Hecker & Co , 
which have led the market for forty years, would 
save so much time for them, and make it po.ssible 
to have haste without waste. 

No one attempts to deny moreover that all 
sorts of work, except some kinds of scientific 



investigation, are better done in the morning 
than at night. Tired and dull, the last efforts of 
the day are seldom worth much, and the attempt 
to work or read in the twilight which many 
make is worse than foolish. Plenty of light in 
the heavens and plenty of light in the mind are 
two necessary things to the accomplishment of 
good work. !XIen may try to do ^^•ithout them 
and many appear to succeed, but they do not. 
Women who let the important things of the day 
drag until its last hours are seldom commended 
for their wisdom, and if this nineteenth centuiy 
has taught any new truth more plainly than an- 
other, it is that good cooking is a necessary aid 
both to good health and a higher cultivation, and 
it has coupled cooking in the clearest manner 
with the Self-raising Flour and Buckwheat of 
Geo. V. Hecker & Co., which are ready in a 
moment's notice in the morning and need not be 
laid up the night before. This morning work 
will surpass that done at night. 



I'eri jJoups' V/opI^, 



Is it tf>o much to require of a strong, able 
man? Thousands of mechanics all over the 
country say that it is too much, that it leaves 
them no time for thought, for rest, for educa- 
tion, or for society. They talk often of striking 
for an eight hour sj'stem. Go home with them 
and see how they live. At daylight the wife is 
up and the breakfast is ready by six o'clock, 
when the worthy man gets up to eal it. When 
he returns at night the supper is being prepared, 
and it is not long before he is snoring on the bed 
or the sofa, while the wife washes the dishes and 
closes up her work. Does he think ten liours 
work too much for her? Does he ever try to 
lighten her load by bringing home some of 
Hccker's Buckwheat, so that she can make up 
her cakes in half the time? If not, she sliniild 
get it herself at once, or strike for a reducliim of 
tlie hours of her work. 



]VIodera I'able I'all^. 



That our ti)i-efathers were progressive is .shown 
by the enduring evidences of tlicir handiwork 
all around us, and although some croakers do not 
give the present generation due credit for steadily 
increasing intelligence, it is an established fact 
that we lead the last generation more than it led 
the preceding one. 

Few articles have grown so rapidly in public 
estimation and gained such a well-earned and 
popular reputation during the past few years as 
Hecker's Self-raising Buckwheat. Ricli and poor 
alike sound its praises, and when we reflect on 
the troubles, worry, waste and often uncertain 
results of the old method and contrast the jires- 
ent way of having delicious buckwiieat cakes at 
a moment's notice, by simply mixing the Ilccker 
Buckwheat up with cold water or milk, self-con- 
"■ratulation at modirrn advancement ought to 
make such cakes taste ever so much better. Tiy- 
it for yourself 



Long after old modes of baking bread, biscuit 
and griddle cakes are obsolete, Hecker's Self- 
raising Flour will lie actively and generally used 
by progressive people. 



Ti.ME is money, especially in the morning -. 
you can save time, confusion and doubt b_v 
using Hecker's Self-raising Buckwheat.

goods to the amount of live hundred and fifty mil 
lions of dollars annually. Sevcntj- millious of pas- 
sengers arc carried yearly over its street railways. 

Fifteen great railroads centre in Philadelphia ; on 
which, over three hundred and fifty jtassenger trains 
depart and arrive daily, carrying 7."), 000 passengers. 
There are over JiOll miles of Horse Railroads,

The Night Tableau Pageant will l)e unique 
in Philadelphia, and whilst presenting the 
interesting and appro|)riate scenes connect- 
ed with our own history, also contains 
much which appeals to the fancy and ex- 
hibits to us something of the Mardi Gras 
of the south. The Pageant Parade wili be 
in three Divisions, as follows : 

/. Pennsyhaniti History. 
This Division comprises ten taljleaux, il- 
lustrating some of the most interesting 
events in the history of the State. First, 
Wm. Penn receiving the Charter from 
Charles II. This was the first act toward 
the founding of his Provinces. The land- 
ing of Penn follows in interest. Then, the 
l^'orming the Law ; the settling of the 
boundary ; the Treaty with the Indians : 
the Battle of Bushy" Run ; the Fight a' 
Germantown ; Valley Forge ; the Last De- 
livery ot Beaver Skins ; and Pennsylvania 
and a Re united Country. The last is alle- 
gorical. This Division is followed by that of 

:?. Illustrious Women. 

The first tableau represents Cupid on 
Jove's proud bird, and is a beautiful coun- 
terfeit. The others in order are Semirair.is, 
Zenobia, Cornelia, Sa|)plio, Cleopatra, 
Queen Elizabeth, Joan '>r Are, Marie Stuart, 
Isabella, and last, tliat beautiful hapless 
Empress, Josephine. This series of illus- 
trious women presents women of the best 
virtues, highest heroism, richest fancy and 
most royal character. 
of The Third Division presents sixteen Tab- 
leaux. 

.J. The Ramayana. 

This poem of India bears much the same 
relation to her history that ^lilton's Para 
dise Lost does to the Western World. It is 
called the Eiiic of the East. The Tableaux, 
illustrations and diseriptions give sufficient 
to show the nature of the Poem. The Tab- 
leau have all the mystic and gorgeous 
form and splendor of the Orient and under 
good lights make a striking exhibition. 

The Welsh societies have their contest 
for prizes at Allison's building.

"Peim Receiving the Charter." 

Tliere iiru many traditional accounts of thcmanner 
in wliioli Penn received the Cliarler to the State, 
which Cli-vrlcs did t lie honor to name after his( Penn 's) 
father. The best, however, is, that Penn upon being 
informed that his petition had been granted by the 
Lords of the Committee of Trades and Plantations, 
hastened to court to thank his Majesty for his royal 
favor anil generosity. The King being in readiness 
to receive him, he was at once without ceremony 
introduced into the dining-room of the Palace. The 
King presented him the deed which is illustrated in 
this Tableau, and as there is no authentic record of 
those were present at this interview, which was full 
of pleasantry and friendliness between Charles and 
Penn. the characters introduced, are Penn's most 
intimate friends and supporters — with the Lord High 
Chief Justice. 

The T.\ni,E.\u REPRESENTS the Drawing-room in 
Whitehall Palace, with a throne in the rear, upon 
which the King, Charles II is seated. Upon the 
apjiroach of Penn, who remains uncovered, the 
King rises and presents the deed, when the pleasant 
interview follows, which is familiar to every reader. 
Upon one side of the throne is the Lord Cliief Jus- 
tice North in Chancellor's robes, on the otlier, the 
Earl of Sunderland ; James, Duke of York, stands 
immediately in the rear of Penn, as liis guardian 
and friend. In tlie hall are Lord Hyde and the Earl 
of Halifax, all in the handsome rich costumes worn 
during tlie reign of Charles, which makes a show- 
ing contrast to the plain, quiet costume worn by 
Penn. The picture is striking in its eflect, and 
carries one back with |)ride to the triumph of the 
trying times which the founder of this gr(*at State 
had, in acquiring liis title.

Landing of Penn at Philadelphia. 

Upon receiving the Charter, Penn at once pro 
ceeded to arrange for the possession of his newly 
acquired territory, by sending three commissioners, 
Wm. Crispin, John Bezar and Kathaniel Allen, 
under speoilic instructions. In these he stated, how 
to care for his people, treat the Indians and the 
settlers, and the mode of laying out and measuring 
the land, as well as the site for a city on the Dela 
ware river, "where it is most navigable, high, drj 
and healthy ; that is, where most ships may best 
ride, of deepest draught of Water, if possible to 
load or unload at the bank or Key side, without 
boating or lighterage. " 

Penn prosecuted with energy all the necessary 
arrangements, tor disposing of his lands, furnishing 
supplies and organizing the government of his 
Colony, and at the same time attended to his re 
ligious duties. In the summer, after the death of 
his mother, he began active preparations for i 
voyage to America: lie wrote to his friend, Algei 
non Sidney, in regard to the frame of govern- 
ment agreed upon ; also wrote his wife and children 
a letter, a masterpiece of manly and fatherly coun- 
sel. In August, 1()83, he embarked at Deal, and 
departed from England, sailing on the ship Welcome, 
Robert Green, Masteri and arrived after a two 
months' voyage within the Capes of tlie Delaware. 
Landing at New Castle on the 27th October, he 
proceeded to Upland or Chester, and from thence to 
Philadelphia, ill an open boat or barge. With de- 
light he scanned the banks of the Delaware, shaded 
as they then were wi ; h majestic foi-ests, and clad with 
variegated foliage of autumn. After passing the 
mouth of the Schuylkill, they came to a place called 
Coaquannock, there being a high, liold shore, it 
seemed that nature had provided it as a site for the 
infant but future great city of Philadelphia. 

Ills approach was hailed with deliglit by the 
whole jiopulation, and (bis T.\iiLE.\u represents 
him just approaching the shore in his barge, with 
oarsman, coxswain and boatswain. Penn is standing 
accompanied by his friend and Lieutenant AVm. 
Markham. In the river are friendly Indians, in their 
birch canoes, and on the banks are the Swedes and 
Dutch, all eager to catch a glimpse of their future 
Governor, and the Friends who had gone before, 
are anxiously waiting for their protector. How in- 
tensely interesting this scene ! how vividly pictured 
even to the Indians in their canoes ! and so life-like 
is all, that one feels as if they were to day partici- 
pating in the actual event in this moving Tableau.

Foruiing' the Law. 

It seexiis to be tlie general opinion tliat the Great 
Law was formed and proelainied at New Castle 
upon Penn's arrival, or at Chester on December 7, 
Kisa, but such is not the case. Upon close invesli- 
Sation, we find that at New Castle he sim])ly made 
a speech to the old Slagistrates, in which he ex- 
jilained to them his object in coming to America, 
and the nature of the government agreed upon in 
England, between the proprietary and others con- 
cerned in the first settlement. lie renewed the 
commissions of the ^lagistrates and received from 
them pledges of fidelity. At Chester he summoned 
all the Justices and some of the inhabitants of the 
territory, requesting them to meet him nt New Cas- 
tle on Novembers, where he intended to hold court. 
At the apiiointed time the assembly met, where 
Penn himself presided as Governor. In his speech 
he stated that he called this court chiefly " to settle 
tlieir lands and possessions, " * * * and "finally, 
as for want of an assembly, there were not yet suf- 
ticient laws jini^ided for the country." He directed 
them to follow the laws of his royal highness, pro- 
vided for the province of New York, so far as they 
were consistent with the laws of England. He as- 
sured them tliat they should enjoy equal privileges 
and sliould in time be governed by such laws as 
they themselves, by their representatives, should 
consent to, lor which purpose he would call an as- 
sembly as .soon as convenient. This assembly of 
Representatives was notheldunlil April Sd. (March, 
old style) 1083, in Philadelphia, where, with Thomas 
Wynne as Speaker and Go\'ernor Penn present in 
council, the "GreatLaw" of this Commonwealth 
was framed — ]5roclaiming equality to be the funda- 
mental principle of tliis great nation. 

This Tabi.k.vu ekpresents one of the jirimitive 
colonial structures, in which this meeting was held, 
designed by Penn, and called the "Blue Anchor," 
formed of rafters of wood, the interstices being 
filled with brick, brought from England. In a 
forum is seated the Governor, above the assembly ; 
then at another desk j\Ir. Thomas Wynne, the 
speaker — in the middle the two secretries : Philip T. 
Lehnmanny, Scct'y to the Gov. ; Richard Ingelo, 
Clerkofthe Council. Then, seatedin chairs fiicing the 
Governor and Speaker, come Wm. Markham, Thos. 
Holme. .John Mall, Wm. Clarke, Wm. Haig, Wm. 
Biles, yrancis Wbitewell, .John Simcock, and Others. 

Who caiilook upon this Tableau without a thrill of 
joy V It recMls to our mind the foundation stone of 
our goverument — the keynote of our independence.

Discussing the Boundary. Penn and 
Lord Baltimore. 

Wm. Markham had, before the arrival of Penn, 
many interviews with Lord Baltimore as to the 
Boundary. While not successful, he conducted the 
negotiations in such a manner as to leave a high im- 
pression of his capacity and the justice of his claims. 

The quarrel with Lord Baltimore threatened 
years of angry and expensive litigation. The irre- 
concilable views as to the nature and scope of 
government came in to embitter the more private dis- 
putes as to the rights of property. Conference after 
conference was held without result, each party 
appealing to his friends at Court, in England. The 
King took part withPenn, and personally interested 
himself about the adjustment of the boundaries, 
which it took a long time to settle. Penn after his 
arrival, had prorogued the Assembly, and paid visits 
to the neighboring seats of Government. At West 
river, Lord Baltimore came forth to meet him with 
a great retinue of the chief persons in the province 
— Colonel Failler offered the hospitalities of his 
mansion to the illustrious visitors. Here they held 
a long and spirited conference, but found it impos- 
sible to adjust their difterences. They met again at 
New Castle, in May, 1681. 

The Tableatj REriiESENTs this meeting in the 
city house of Col. Failler ; a massive stone structure, 
•with heavy columns and oaked dining hall. Seated 
at the table are William Penn, Lord Baltimore, Mr. 
Markham, Col. Failler, Holme, Pearson, and gentle- 
men of Baltimore's retinue. This interview ended 
the discussion which had occupied months of diplo- 
macy and ncgot iations and settled the boundary with 
satisfaction to all parties.

In the year 1834 The Americin Sunday-School Union began its work. For the fifty-eight years since, its missionaries 
have been consLintly travehng, following the boys and girls of America into the North, the South, and the far West, wher- 
ever their fathers and mothers have gone. It has sent out books and papers which have been the silent messengers of un- 
told blessing. The work which it has done cannot be estimated by figures. Yet, it has started 71,775 schools, with 450,120 
teachers and 3,038,695 scholars. During all these years it has helped to sustain these schools whenever assistance was 
needed, and it has granted aid in 111,945 other cases, containing 6,901,479 scholars. It has spent, in its missionary work. 
$2,725,941.35, which has been gladly given by boys and girls, and men and women, who had the money, and best of all, the 
heart, to give, and by Sunday-school and Church mission bands. It has given out. by sales and grants, books, papers, 
etc., to the value of $7, 500,090. Isn't it a noble work? Will you not help it along by your sympathy and your money!

Penn's Treaty with the Indians. 

This Tableau represents, as near as can be 
protrayed in a moving picture, the scene, "on 
the Banks of the Delaware in ths suburbs of the 
then rising City of Philadelphia," of a fine natural 
amphitheatre, used from time immemorial, as a 
place of meeting for the native tribes. The name 
Sakimaxing, has a royal signification, meaning the 
locality of kings. At this spot stood one of those 
glorious elms, -which was already about one 
hundred and fifty-five j-ears old. Under its spread- 
ing branches, friendly nations had been wont to 
meet to arrange difierences, and to smoke the calu- 
met of peace, long before the pale face had landed 
on these shores. "With the tact which ever distin- 
guished him, Markham had appointed this locality 
for his first conference with the Indians. The Land 
Commissioners wisely followed his example, and 
when Penn proposed his solemn conference, he 
named Sakimaxing, for its locality. 

Here stood the gigantic Elm which was to 
become immortal from that day forward, and there 
lay the verdant council chambers, formed by nature. 
In the centre stood William Penn, in costume un- 
distinguished from the surrounding group, save by 
a silken sash. His costume was simple, but not pe- 
dantic or ungainly, his hat of cavalier shape (with- 
out the feather), from beneath which, escaped the 
curls of a new peruke. At his right stands Capt. 
Markham, on his left Pearson, and near his per- 
son, but a little backward, some of his most attached 
adherents. 

The Indians are in their old forest costumes, with 
bright feathers, and bodies painted in the most 
gorgeous manner. Taminent, Chief Sachem or 
King, is in advance of tlie others, lie wears a 
chaplet on his head — into whiclr is twisted a small 
horn. Tlie veneralile chief is seated on the ground, 
wilh the other Sachems on his right and left. This 
striking and picturesque Tableau brings before us a 
real picture of two hundred years ago ; one which 
will carry its strong moral lessons forward to the 
unending years of eternity.

Expedition — Battle 
Run— 1763. 



of Bushy 



The friendly relations incorporated by Penn in 
Eastern Pennsylvania were not maintained by the 
later settlers of the interior. A different policy 
later caused open warfare, partly through treachery 
of the Indians, caused by a want" of proper treatment 
from thejvhites, and partly by the encroachment on 
their rights of territory from "the natural progress of 
civilization. The struggles were long, severe and 
very trying. Step by step the Indians were forced 
West, u'nlilthe Battle of Bushy Run. 

Tlie army under Col. Boquel had been marching 
through the beautiful valley of the Cumberland, 
there "laying buried in foliage, except the rocks 
which crowned the mountains. 

The main ridge of the Allcghenies, like a mighty 
wall of green, rose up before them. They pursued 
their zigzag march up and over the woody heights, 
under a sweltering .July sun ; they afterward de- 
scended into a country less rugged, but with a dense 
forest and increasing in other dangers. The tired 
soldiers were pressing forward, when suddenly the 
report of a rifle from the front sent a thrill along the 
ranks. Soon the whole forest was alive with the 
whooping, yelling savages, and an active engage- 
ment was iiiiminent. The fight lasted until niglit, 
and the troops encamped upon a hill where the fight 
took place. The next day, the fight being renewed 
with greater fierceness. Col. Boquet ordered two 
companies to fall back. The Indians, taking this for 
a retreat, leaped up, and rushed pell mell on all sides 
into the opening made, when the two conipanies 
named, under a cover of the bush, made a detour 
and poured a terrific fire into the savages from the 
rear ; the other troops rushed upon them, and after 
a deadly encounter, routed them. The loss of the 
savages 'was very heavy and they retired, and Col. 
Boquet had reli'evcd Fort Pitt and virtually ended 
the war. 

•This TABt.EAU REPRESENTS vividly the engage- 
ment described above, in the dense forest on the 
banks of Bushy Run.

Germantown— Chew's House Fight. 

The next Tableau brings us nearer to the scenes 
of conflict with tlie raotlier country — and back again 
to the neigliborhood of Philadelpliia. At the battle 
of Germantown the principle feature seems to have 
been the attack on Chew's House, where Musgrave 
took refuge with se%'eral companies of his command. 

The scene of the conflict is thus gra])liically de- 
scribed — " The morning was very dark ; a thick fog, 
rendered more dense by the smoke of the cannon 
and musketry, obscured everything, and it was im- 
possible for the soldiers, marching over ground 
broken by roads and houses, to see clearly what 
was before them, as they advanced upon the two 
sides of the town. When the reserves arrived on the 
top of the hill at the entrance of the town, they 
found that Col. Musgrave, with six companies of 
the loth. Regiment, had boldly thrown himself into 
Chew's house, barricaded the doors and windows, 
and )irepared for a vigorous defence. The first 
knowledge that the Continental troops had of Chew's 
liouse, says Colonel Pickering, was "the whizzing 
of musket balls across the road, before, behind and 
above us." Fruitless attacks were then made by 
artillery and infantry to dislodge them. The gene- 
rals feared to leave this important obstacle in their 
rear, and by tlie advise of General Knox, a flag of 
truce was sent by Lieutenant Colonel Smith, a gal- 
lant Virginia officer who volunteered his services. 
He had hardl_y crossed the lawn in front of the house, 
when a rifle shot stretched him upon the ground. 
Another general attack was then made by infantry 
and artillery, under General JIaxwell, and an inef- 
fectual siege begun. The tide of battle soon 
changed, and upon the retreat of the American 
troojis the enemy still held the position of Chew's 
House. 

The T.\BLE.\u SHOWS Chew's house, a fine stone 
mansion standing several rods from the street, with 
a lawn in front, over which tlie Continental troops, 
led by General JIaxwell. are advancing under the 
galling fire of the English, through every window in 
tile house. With this another picture passes away to 
give room to one of the most thrilling scenes con- 
nected with the War of Independence. 



¥iilileim VIII. 



The Approach to "N'alley Forge. 

Washington chose Valley Forge as a place for a 
winter encampment, because it was remote from 
dangers of hunger, and of sudden attacks from the 
enemy. At the same time he might more easily, 
protect the Congress at York, and his st(n'es at Read- 
ing. The trying journey from Whitemarsh to Valley 
Forge, in the bleak month of December, has no 
equal in the annals of our struggle for Independ- 
ence. It was over hard frozen ground and through 
snow, barefooted, leaving blood spots on the white 
carpet trodden by their lacerated feet. 

Thescenethis Tableau iiiLUSTRATEs is thus viv- 
idly described by Henry Armitt Brown : 

"The wind is cold and piercing on the Gulf 
Road, and the snow-flakes have begun to fall. 
Who is this that toils up yonder hill, his footsteps 
stain'jd with blood'i! His breeches not enough to 
cover his nakedness. His comrade is no better oft', 
nor he who follows, for both are barefoot, and the 
ruts of the roiigk country road are deep and frozen 
hard. A dozen are in sight, and there are more to 
come. See them as tlicy mount the hill that slopes 
eastward to the Oreat valley, hidden from sight by 
the dense cloud of falling snow-flakes. 

Yonder a horseman, with sad but stern and de- 
termined countenance, whose presence nerves and 
encourages this frozen, struggling band, seeking 
their refuge to plod on — is this an army? are these 
soldiers that huddle together and bow their heads as 
they face the biting wind? In yonder forest they 
must find their .shelter; perils shall assault them, 
trials that rarely have failed to break the fortitude 
of man await them, hunger and disease will beset 
them, famine stand guard with them at night, frost 
shall lock their camp in icy fetters — but all in vain 
— danger shall not frighten, nor temptation have 
power to seduce them, doubt shall not shake their 
love of country nor suffering overcome their fiu-ti- 
tude. The powers of evil shall not prevail against 
them, for they are the Continental Army, and these 
the hills of Valley Forge."

Last Delivery of Beaver Skins. 

According to the Charter given to Pcnn, tlie 
grunt was "not in capite " but in " free ami common 
socage, by fealty only," yielding and paying to the 
king two beaver skins annually, to be delivered at 
the Castle of Windsor. 

Tliis Tableau represents the Guard Chamber 
in Windsor Castle where the delivery was made. This 
•act was tlie last acknowledgement of fealty on the 
jiart of the Proprietary to the mother country; it took 
place on .January 1st, 1780. The beaver skins were 
delivered 1)}^ William Tyrroll, acting for the proprie- 
tors, to William Jarman acting for William Pliillii)s, 
Es(|., Lieutenant Governorof Windsor Castle, and in 
the presence of Thos. Boardmora as witue.ss. The 
receipts are now in the archives of the Historical 
Society of Pennsj'lvaniain this citj', and are a valua- 
ble relic connected with the early history of our 
SI ale. They become particularly valuable, as the 
final or last pa_yment and seemingly as the last act 
of allegiance to the king.

Peiiii.sylvauia — A Re-imited Country. 

This Tableau, the last of this division is made to 
illustrate a new and difierent era, from that just pic- 
tured in those preceding it. They illustrated actual 
events in the early settlement of the State, and its 
struggles through the war of Independence. This 
tableau is t3-pical of the results of those struggles 
and claims for our city and State that position, in 
the History of this Nation, to which it is so justly 
entitled. Tlie first provincial assembly which 
framed and proclaimed the G !•<• i d Lkw o(^ civil am\ 
religious liberty, inaugurated by the great Penn, is 
followed by the struggles in her infancy for exist- 
ence. The State in her youth is then shown, flglit- 
ing manfully for her freedom, and her severance 
from the yoke of the Mother Country, and boldly 
aiding in the formation and proclamati(m of the 
Declaration of Independence by the first Conti- 
nental Congress, within the walls of tlie edifice 
sacred and dear to every American. Thus sounding 
the key-note of our freedom and liberty, site may 
well be called the Keystone State. She has now 
become great and prosperous ; her mines, her 
manufactories, her schools, and her printing estab- 
lishments, entitle her to this T.^bleau represent- 
ing the Goddess of Lil)erty on a Keystone in the cen- 
tre of the car. On the Keystone is emblazoned the 
Coat of Arms of the State ; immediately in front 
and near its base is a negro, with broken shacliles, 
denoting his freedom. Surrounding the pedestal, 
and on a raised platform, are allegorical figures of 
the Miner, School Teacher, Artisan and Printer, and 
on the main body of the car seated on keystones are 
ahso allegorical figures, symbolizing all sections of 
the Reunited Country. Tlie North is on the front ; 
the South on the rear; the East on the right; and 
the West on the left. Surrounding each figure are the 
mineral, agricultural and other productions of the 
respective sections. This Tableau is a fitting end to 
llie stirring and vivid tableaux preceding it, and a 
beautiful introduction to the grand p.ud spectacular 
ones to follow.

Tableau XI 

Represents Cupid riding on a Peacock, into which 
bird Juuo changed her hundred-eyed herdsman 
Argus, after he had been killed by Mercury for 
concealing lo from Jove. The rosy Boy-God is 
armed with the same bow and arrow with which he 
wounded Apollo, when the latter, after having slain 
the huge Serj,ent Python, asks by what right he, a 
mere boy, carries so manly a weapon as a bow. 
Flowers spring up to greet the God of Lo/e as he 
approaches, bending their slender stems in loving 
obeisance and welcome, as if to emphasise their 
allesiiuK-e to tlie Power who has invested them with 
so large a portion of their importance and signific- 
ants, Tlie Peacock bears himself as if proud of his 
hunleii, while his glorious colors appear to justify 
the fable of liis derivation. 

" So waned at once 
The lii,'ht wliich filled so many eyes ; one night 
Clo.sed all the hundred. Bui .Sa^urnia's care 
Later renewed their fir^s, and bade them shine, 
Geni-likc. amid the Peacock's radiant plumes.

[In the latter part of the yeau 1G93-4. while the

show, in the discussion of ten section.s, ■•the desira 
bleness of peace and the truest means of it," at the 
time and for the future. It consisted of a scheme 
for a general alliance or compact among the dif. 
ferent states of Europe, whereby they should agree 
to constitute a "General Diet "or Congress of na- 
tions, wherein each should be represented by depu- 
ties, and all diflfereuees should be settled on equi-

Division of Illiistiious Women. 

Represents Semiramis, Queen of Assyria, the first 
female sovereign of whom we have any historical 
record, and whose name inevitably recalls the re- 
motest historical period. Seated in a war chariot, 
with a golden helmet on her brow, clothed in royal 
robes, and proudly swaying her sceptre as an em- 
blem at once of her sovereignty and her conquests, 
appropriately indicating her ambitious temperament 
and warlike character. Semiramis captivated the 
heart of Ninus, the Assyrian King, and after his 
death ruled over his dominions, adding to them by 
the subjugation of the Medes, Persians, Libyans 
and Ethiopians. She founded the immense city of 
Babylon, adorning it with the most stupendous 
public works, temples, bridges, hanging gardens, 
etc, etc. The background of the tableau is occupied 
by pillars sustainding an architrave adorned with 
hieroglyphics, and supporting a mass of tropical 
flowers representing the hanging gardens of Baby- 
lon.

Represents Zenobia, the Queen of Odenothus, Chief 
of the Tribes of tlie Syrian Desert and the centre of 
the brilliant court ■niiich adorned Palmyra in the 
days of its glory. She was evidently beautiful, in- 
tellectual and courageous, and was the constant 
companion of her husband both in the chase and in 
■war. After the destruction of Palmyra by the 
Emperor Aurellan, Zenobia was loaded with chains 
and taken to Rome to grace her conqueror's tri- 
umphs. She appears in the pageant mounted on 
an elephant and gorgeously attired, her apparel 
glittering with jewels. A blue canopy overhangs 
her Jlowdah and the trappings of her elephant are 
of the gaudiest hues, as is the case also with the garb 
of the soldier by whom he is led. 



Ah Abstract of a Letter froin, Dcputy-Ouvernuur 
Markham vf Pennsylvania to his wife. Upl.a?id 
the 7 December, IGSl. 
"It is a very fine Country, if it were not so over- 
grown with Woods, and very Healthy. Here peo- 
ple live to be about 100 years of age. Provisions 
of all sorts are indigerent plentiful ; Venison especi- 
ally. I have seen four Bucks bought for less than 
5s., the Indians killing them only for their Skins, 
and if the Christians will not buy the Flesh, they 
will let it hang and rot on a Tree. In the AVinter, 
there is a mighty plenty of Wild Fowl of all sorts ; 
Partridges I am cloyed with, we catch them by hun- 
dreds at a time. In the fall of the Leaf, or after 
Harvest, here are abundance of wild Turkeys, 
which are mighty easie to be Shot ; Duck, Mallard, 
Geese and Swans in abundance, wild ; Fish are in 
great plenty. In short, if a Country Life be liked 
by any, it might be here. That which is most 
scarce is Mutton and Beef, because you must kill 
it yourself, I mean of your own ; and in the Sum- 
merit will not keep until you can eat it all, e.\ccpt 
in great Families. What Beef is killed is in October, 
or thereabouts, and Salted up for a whole year ; last 
October I kill'd two very fiit Bullocks." 



^'AhleAU XIY 



Represents the proud Roman matron Cornelia, the 
daughter of Scipio Africanus, the wile of Sempro- 
nius Gracchus, and tlie mother of Tiberius and Caius 
Gracchus, who subsequently became the Tribunes 
of the people and resisted the oppressions of the 
wealthy patrician class, at the ultimate cost of their 
lives. It is related that being requested by one of 
her patrician friends, who was boasting of her 
jewels, to be permitted to see the gems on which 
she prided herself, Cornelia pointed to her sons 
with the simple reply, "These are my jewels." 
Cornelia appears in the pageant in the simple dress 
of a Roman matron, seated at work near a table 
upon which stands a bos of jewels. Her visitor is 
seated opposite in ricli attire, and has just asked to 
see the gems of which she is proudest, and Cor- 
neHa is pointing to her two sons, who stand before 
her, dressed in the iof/^vp^'^r^eito and holding in their 
hands the scrolls significant of their future renown 
as popular orators.

Represents Sappho, tlie victim of the passion she so 
divinely sung. Slie appears in a Grecian cliariot, 
the sides of which shine like burnished gold and 
drawn bj' milk-white steeds. Her robes are blue 
and white, her head is adorned with the laurel 
crown and in her hand she bears a lyre. Beside 
the chariot walks Phaon, the young Grecian war- 
rior whom she hopelessly loved and leaped into the 
sea from the Leucadian Cape in consequence ; and 
at the head of the liorses there is a charioteer. Sap- 
pho was born in Mytileue in the Island of Le.=;bi)S, 
about GOO years B. C, and was deservedly famous 
for lier amatory poems. 



The first Public Library in America— the present 
"Library Company of Philadelphia " — was founded 
by Benjamin Frankliu, in 1731. In the same city 
were also established the first Medical School, in 
1703 ; the first Academy of Fine Arts, in 1805, the 
first bank, the Bank of Pennsylvania, in 1780; 
llie first Social Club, the Wistar Club, by Dr. Cas- 
per Wistar, in 1799, and the first Union Flag was 
unfurled on board the ship Alfred, at Philadelphia, 
in 1775. 



The discoverer of the usefulness of anthracite 
coal as fuel was a Peuusj-lvaniau, Judge Fell of 
Wilkesbarre. 



The first Shot Tower in America was erected 
early in the present century by Thomas W. Sparks, 
iu Philadelphia, and still stands in successful opera- 
tion. The first producing oil well in the L'nited 
States was bored iu Pennsylvania, at Titusville, in 
1859. It was a " thousand barrel " well. The first 
Bessemer steel rails made upon order in the United 
States were manuf\icturcd in Pennsylvania, at the 
Cambria Iron AVorks, Johnstown, from ingots made 
at Harrisburg, in 1867. The first iron works in 
America were the Jlontour Iron Works, at Danville, 
Pa., opened in 1840. 



:ileku XVI 

Uepresents Cleopatra throned in the gorgeous 
liarge in which she ascended the Cydnus to meet 
Marc Antony at Tarsus. Arrayed, not like Aph- 
rodite, but in gorgeous vestments, sparkling with 
rare and costly jewels, she receives the homage of 
the Roman General, who has borne the summons 
from the conqueror of Brutus and Cassius, and now 
sits at her feet a willing captive to her matchless 
charms. Cup-bearers and other attendants stand 
about the pavilicm, while in the bow of the barge 
there is a group of richly attired musicians, the 
whole forming a group which literally sparkles and 
glows with light and color. 

" The barge she satin, like a bnrulsli'd throne, 
Jiurn'd on the water; the poop was brateugold ; 
Purple the sails, and so perfumed, that 
The winds were lovesiclc witli them ; the oars were 

silver, 
"Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made 
The water which they beat to follow faster, 
As amorous of their strokes. For her own person. 
It heggar'd all description. » » * 
Her gentlewomen like the >fereids, 
.So many mermaids, tended her i' the eyes 
And made their bends adornings; at the helm 
A seeming mermaid steer.s ; the silken tackle 
Swell with the touches of those flower-soft hands 
That gayly frame the office. From the barge 
A strange, invisible perfume hits the scene 
Of the adjacent wharves."

Represents the haughty tlauglitcr of Henry VIII. 
and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth, the maiden Queen of 
England, whose reign marks the most brilliant 
period in English history. Not even all the plots, 
rebellions and executions which defaced the famous 
"Elizabethan Age, " can suffice to dim the lustre 
shed upon it Ijy Drake and Raleigh, Essex and Lei- 
cester, Burleigh and Cromwell, Spencer and Sir 
Philip Sidney, Bacon and Shakespeare. In the pic- 
ture before us she appears seated upon her throne 
surrounded with all the accompaniments and trap- 
pings of royalty, and attended by some of the most 
distinguished ornaments of her brilliant court. On 
one side stands her favorite, the courtly but treach- 
erous Leicester, upon the other Lord High Treasurer 
Burleigh and his lady and attendants, while before 
lier stands the inspired Shakespeare, reading one of 
his immortal dramas — prossibly the very prophecy 
he puts in the mouth of Cranmer at her christening : 

" This royal infant (heaven still more about her !) 
Though in her cradle, yet now promiyos 
Upon this lancl a thousand tliousanda blessings, 
Wliieh time shall bring to ripene^ss. She sliall Ijo 
A pattern to all princes living with her, 
And all that shall succeed ; « ♦ * 
She sliall he to the happiness of England, 
An aged princess. Many days shall see her, 
And yet no day without a deed to crown it. 
Would I had known no more ! But she must die — 
A most unspotted lily shall she pass 
To the ground and all the worUl shall mourn her." 



Yableau XVIIT 

Represents Joan of Arc, the heroic Maid of Orleans, 
who has perhaps been alternately more bepraised 
and belittled than any other woman in history. 
Born a peasant maiden, whose tender years were 
passed in tending her father's flocks, she became 
animated by an exalted patriotism, and conceived 
herself specially inspired and divinely commis- 
sioned to effect the deliverance of her countiy from 
its English conquerors. She succeeded in impart- 
ing some of her enthasiasm to the French King 
Charles, and his disheartened followers succeeded 
in raising the siege of Orleans, and led them to 
many subsequent victories. She was finally taken 
prisoner bj' the Euglish, by whom she was con- 
demned as a sorceress and burned at the stake at 
Rouen, on the 13th of May, 1431. In the pageant 
she appears mounted on a white charger, clad in 
gleaming mail, her hair streaming over lier shoul- 
ders, her drawn sword in her right hand, and wav- 
ing in the other the banner of the _/!<«;• de li/s. 

" I>ivinest creature, bright Astrea's daughter. 
How shall I lienor thee for this success? 
Tliy promises are iii^e Adonis' gardens. 
That one day bloomed and fruitful were the next, 
France, triunipli in thy glorious prophetess ! 
In memory ot her when she is dead, 
Her ashes. In an urn more precious 
Tlian therieli-jewerd coU'ur ot Darius. 
Transported shall be at high festivals 
Before the kings and queens of France. 
Xo longer on Saint Dennis shall we cry, 
But Joan la Pucello sliall be France's saint,"

Represents oue of the most beautiful aud unfortu- 
nate of queens, and recalls one of tlie saddest epi- 
sodes in history — the execution of Mar_v Stuart, on 
February 8th, 1587. After being imprisoned eigh- 
teen years, she was tried by a Commission presided 
over by Burleigh, upon a charge of consjiiiing 
against the life of Elizabelh and pronounced guilt\'. 
On the 7th of February, 1587, the Earls of Kent 
aud Shrewsbury proceeded to Fotheringay Castle 
and informed the royal captive she must prepare to 
die at 8 o'clock the following morning. Denied 
the consolations of her own faith, .she was impor- 
tuned to abjure her religious beliefs, but steadfastly 
resisted to the end. The tableau .shows the doomed 
Queen of Scots dressed in dark robes, attended by 
a guard, and descending steps covered with black 
cloth, on her way to execution. The Earl of 
Shrewsbury, the Earl of Kent, the Dean of Peter- 
borough and several men-at-arms form the solemn 
procession. 



Stocking weaving was introduced into this coun- 
try in Pennsylvania, by German settlers. As early 
as 1733 stocking-weaving in this province is spoken 
of. Messrs. Dolan & Co., of Philadelphia, were 
the first to introduce the manufacture ol worsted 
shawls in the United States, in the j'ear 18G6. This 
firm employ 1.500 jjersons, produce annually two 
million dollars worth of goods, and are now the 
largest manufacturers of worsted suitings for men's 
wear in this country. 



tableau XX 



Represents one of the most illustrious women who 
ever graced a throne, Isabella, who, by her mar- 
riage to Ferdinand of Arragon, became Queen of 
Castile and Arragon. Though less famous in poetry 
and picture the more truthful muse of history pre- 
sents her to us as combining in an eminent degree 
the talents of Elizabeth aud the graces of Mary 
Stuart. She waged a relentless war against the 
Moors, and finally overthrew their kingdom in the 
south of Spain, which had resisted for seven hun- 
dred years. After the fall of Grenada she was 
finally induced by the importunities of Columbus to 
grant the daring voyager the assistance he required 
to prosecute his search for a New World. Next to 
the moment in which Isabella became the patroness 
aud coadjutrix of Columbus, the most memorable 
epoch of her life was that which witnessed his re- 
turn from his successful search for a western hemi- 
sphere ; and she received him in state at Barce- 
lona and listened to the recital of the history of his 
voyage. This is the incident in her career which is 
portrayed in the pageant. Isabella and Ferdinand 
are seated on the throne ; on one hand is a cardinal, 
in red hat and cloak, and on the other Prince .luan, 
who died within a few mouths of this period. In 
front of the throne stands Columbus unrolling a 
chart ; at his feet we see a heap of the curious pro- 
ductions of that wonderful land beyond the sea, 
and just behind him stand two Indians, whose pres- 
ence affords the clearest proof of the justness of 
his claim to have found a New World, since from 
it he has brought specimens of a new race of human 
beings.

Is the last of the pictures of illustrious women, ;>.iul 
represents Josephine, the consort of the great Na- 
poleon, compared witli -n-hose varied and eventful 
history the wildest inventions of fiction dwindle 
into insignificance. The leading incidents in Jose- 
phine's marvelous career are too familiar to all lo 
require recapitulation in this connection. The car 
which closes this division of tlie pageant discovers 
two pictures, in which are portrayed the two ex- 
tremes of her r-ontrary fate. In one she appears as 
a playful, liglit -hearted child in ?ilartinique, clad in 
short skirts, and bending over her is the prophetic 
negress pouring into her ear the seeminglj- impos- 
sible prediction of her future grandeur. In the back- 
ground appears the throne, before which falls a filmy 
curtain. Through this veil we see indistinctlj-, and 
as in a dream, the Empress in her imperial robes, 
crowned and sceptcred,and seated upon Napoleon's 
blood-cemented throne. 



The Franklin stove, invented by Benjamin 
Franklin, was for sixty years the chief* stove in use 
in our country. The Governor of Pennsylvania 
oflcred him letters-patent for it which he refused, 
saying, "he was glad of an opportunity to serve 
others by an invention of his own, and this he de 
sired to do generously and freely." The Franklin 
stove is still a favorite one. The first patent for a 
nail machine, for heading and cutting nails at one 
operation, was granted in 1796 to Isaac Garretson, of 
Pennsylvania. The first Bible printed in America 
came "from the press of Christopher Sower, Sr., 
Germantown, in the present city of Philadelphia, 
1743, and he also estaldished, in the same i)lace, 
a lype foundry. A copy of this Bible, with Sower's 
imprint appeared in the International Exhibition 
of 187G.

^kble^u XXII 

Opens that division of the pagi'imt designed to illus- 
trate The Rauiayana, or the marvelous auveiiturus 
of the demigod Rama ; and is an exact production 
of the famous Car of Juggernaut. It looms upon 
the sight like some portentous meteor athwart the 
blue pathway of the stars. Instead of draught ani- 
mals, tlie motive power for this chariot of Krishwa 
is supplied by si.\ty devotees, religious fervor giving 
strength to their arms and fanatical enthusiasm 
lending speed to their feet. The Car is several sto- 
ries high, each ornamented with an artist's brush in 
all the brightest and warmest colors, and each cov- 
ered with all the gems and stones of which the lapi- 
dary has knowledge. On the topmost story stands 
an image of the Blue God, clad and decked as never 
was heathen Deity before. The dimensions of the 
Car are precisely those of the original, beneath the 
wheels of which so many votaries have cheerfully 
yielded up their lives. It is forty-three and one-half 
feet high, thirty -four and one-half feet square, and 
is mounted on si.\tecu wheels, each of which is si.\ 
and a-half feet in diameter. This is, in fact, but 
the introduction to the story of Rama and tlie incar- 
nation of Vishnu, the temple toward which the mil- 
lions who worship that divinity must turn to learn 
the wonderful religion the_y profess ; and as it moves 
off leaves the mind prepared for the actual opening 
of tlie Orieulal Illiad. 



¥ableh.u XXIII 

Tells the spectator how the great Valmiki, the au- 
thor of the Ramaj-ana, received from Brahma the 
poet's inspiration. Accompanied by a juippet, Val- 
miki goes to the river Tamasa to bathe ; while there 
a hunter kills a male curlew, which is plaintively 
mourned by its mate. The sad notes attracted the 
attention of Valmiki, who exclaims : 

"No rest, for ever-circling years, 
Muyst thou, O lorester, obtain ! 
By wliose tell hand this liarmlcsa t)ircl, 
Wliile sporting with his mate, was slain." 

He was struck with the rhythm of hisiilmost un- 
conscious utterance, and while blooding over this 
novel achievement, and the event by which it was 
provoked, Brahma appears. Young palms, dates 
and other tropical growths are scattered over the 
surface of the ground, while rising in the rear is the 
dazzling throne of Brahma, from which that God 
with three faces looks solemnly down. Behind him 
hundreds of sun-discs make a background, against 
which, clad in imperial vestments, the God, more 
radiant than the suns, stands out in bold relief. On 
eitlier side stand Hindoo sphinxes ag guardians of 
the royal seat. The throne itself is one mass of 
gold and pearl and precious stones, which reflect 
the light in every hue and color. Valmiki, in a 
hermit's robe, stands in the foreground, amazed at 
the dazzling splendor of this sudden apparition of 
the all-powerful God, and reverently receives the 
divine gift of poesv, which was to be afterward 
given to the world in liis Ramayana.

begins the recital of events indepeiulentof the poet, 
and sliows how the saintly aseetic, Rishyasrins, 
i' l)cj;;uilc'd from his hermitage. During the reign 
ft' Lomapad, King of the Angas, that monarch has 
l::'en guilty of some folly, in punishment for which 
il was decreed that his kingd(nii should be visited 
by a ten-iWe drought, and that no rain should fall 
upon the thirsty earth until the holy hermit. Risli- 
jasring, could he forced, induced or beguiled into 
visiting tlie land of the sufTering Angas. After 
mucli thought a plan was devi.sed to secure the boon 
whieli is represented in tliis picture. A vessel was 
built and launched upon the Ganges, which was 
dc'.xterouslj- covered witli carlli and grass, flowers 
and fruits and trees, 'mid wliich sported birds of 
liiilliant plumage and sweetest voice, giving it the 
appearance of a veritable floating island of delight. 
?.Iaids of the rarest beauty of face and form were 
tlicn placed upon tlie island, disguised as anchorites, 
and flirough their wiles the unsuspecting hermit 
was lured into this secniinglv innocent bower of 
bliss and carried to the parching kingdom of Loma- 
pad, which at once regained its former verdure and 
prosperity. The floating garden is seen after its 
saintly passenger has been secured. On it plays a 
large fountain, from wliich we hear the murmur of 
gently fiilling waters ; the beautiful maidens, in an- 
chorite dresses, go through the figures of a fantastic 
dance before the bewildered hermit, who stands on 
an elevation near the stern beneath the overshadow- 
ing branches of tropical trees. There is color in 
everything, from the bright green of the trees to the 
rich crimson of the fruit and the glittering yellow 
of the gold ornaments of tlie vessel.

Is ' realistic representation of the Sacrifice of the 
Whue Ilorsc, a rite performed by the pious King 
Dasaratha to propitiate the Gods and obtain from 
their bounty a son and heir to his kingkom of 
Ayodhya. According to tlie poem, Dasaratha vis- 
ited Lomapad to induce tlie holy hermit, who had 
been beguiled into tlie kingdom of the Angas. to 
assist in the sacrificial ceremony in which he ^^■as 
about to engage, by feeding with holy oil the flames 
on the altar, this being ncces.sary to meet all the re- 
quirements of the solemn occasion. Dasaratha ob- 
tained his wish and the sacrifice was ofiercd with all 
the requisite forms and ceremonies, and is repre- 
sented in this tableau with singular fidelity to the 
poet's description. In the religion of Brahma all 
supports are required to lie octagonal, and here the 
lofty altar is sustained by jiosts of that character. 
Above all else is the holy vessel and receptacle for 
the blood of the .saci'ifice, and the high altar, all 
wrought in gold. Below this are the vessels into 
which the holy oil is distilled. Tlie pedestal is one 
mass of flowers and wreaths, and surrounding it are 
the animals used for the sacrifice. In front stands 
Queen Kau.salaya, sword in hand, and before her the 
white steed, the victim. The splendor of the altar, 
representing an eagle with wings of gold, sheds ad- 
ditional lustre upon all the surroundings.

¥^Meini XXVII 

Represents the nuptials of R:inia, which the poem 
tells us were hrouglit about in tlie following man- 



While Rama was still a youth, the hermit Vis- 
vamitra besought his aid in destroying the Rak- 
shasas and evil fiends who disturbed the hermit at 
his holy rites. After many conflicts and wonderful 
exploits Rama accomplishes the total desti-uction of 
his adversaries, and, on his homeward journey, 
stops at the court of King Janaka, who possessed 
tlie wonderful bow of Siva, and had i^romised to 
I)estow his beautiful daughter Sita on whoever 
should succeed in bending the migbt_y weapon with 
which Siva had once conquered the gods. Rama 
not only bent the bow with ease, but broke it in the 
middle and won his peerless liride. 

The scene portrays the marriage ceremony in a 
triple-domed temple radiant in gold and brilliant 
colors. The roof is ornamented by a rich and 
lieavy cornice, on either side of which appears the 
ligure of a Brahmin deit}'. This roof is supported 
liy Indian columns with intricate capitals. The 
floor is raised six feet and is reached bj' a flight of 
stei)S on each side. Surrounding the temple is a 
garden filled with rare flowers and curious plants, 
la the centre of this temple stands an altar on which 
liiinis the sacred fire, surrounded by golden ladles. 
Tlie saint Vasishtha, assisted by Visvamitra and 
Salaiiimcla, officiate in the ceremony, clad in priestly 
rolies (if rich material and decked with jewels. 
Rama and Sita, royally attired, stand befori; the 
altar, while King Janaka and Queen Kausalaj'a 
smile beniguantly upon the happy pair. Festoons 
And wreaths of flowers, costly robes and flashing 
jewels combine to render this a jjicture of rare grace 
and beauty. • 



Represents tbe Council of the Gods and the doom 
pronounced upon Ravana. According to the poem, 
after the .sacrifice of the steed, the holy hcrinh im- 
plores the Gods to grant the longing of King Dasa- 
ratha, which they promise shall be done. The as- 
sembled Gods then implore Brahma to deliver them 
from the oppressions and persecutions of the mon- 
ster Ravana. Brahma informs them that their arch 
enemy has obtained bis (Brahma's) promise to 
guard his (Ravana's) life "from demon, God and 
heavenly bard," but the promise did not protect 
him from "man of woman born." Vishnu then 
ajipears, and in answer to the pleadings of the Gods 
consents to become incarnate. Queen Kausalaj'a, 
after drinking one-half of the divine essence of 
Vishnu, gives birth to a son, Rama, who becomes 
the destroyer of Ravana. In this tableau Brahma 
towers aloft, seated upon a huge Lotus flower, daz 
zling in rich garments and jewels, while just before 
him and beneath him appear the lesser gods, four 
in number, and just beneath them again is seen the 
animal's head, which is symbolic of each. This 
galaxy of divinities is seen seated on a throne sup- 
ported by clouds luminous with flames and the sun's 
bright rays. Above these clouds and facing the 
gf)d3, as if addressing them, is Vishnu, adorned witli 
wings, seated on his eagle, appareled as becomes an 
oriental deity, and "covered with glory like a 
flame."

Y^lileau XXVIII 

Shows Rama and bis bride, the beautiful Sita, set- 
ling out on tlieir journey to the Forest of Dandaka. 
Rama having been banished from his fatlier's king- 
dom for fourteen _vears. This banisliment lias been 
brouglit about by the intrigues of the king's second 
wife, Kaikcyi, the mother of Bahrata. She de- 
manded of Dasaratba the fulfillment of a promise, 
made her years before, to grant any two boons she 
might ask ; and asked as the first boon that Rama 
be banished fourteen years, and as tlie second that 
lier son Bahrata should reign during liis absence. 
Basai-atha hesitated, but Rama himself insisted upon 
his fallier redeeming his promise, and, despite the 
anguish of his father, the tears of bis mother and 
the protests of his people went into what was really 
a self-imposed exile. 

In the doorway of his lofty palace stands the 
grief-stricken Dasaratha with the jealous Queen 
Kaikeyi beside him and the successful Bahrata in 
the background. The portal is arched with the 
IMoorish horseshoe and supported by heavy columns. 
The graceful jialm tree shades the steps and rich 
plants flourish on either side. Seated in the depart- 
ing chariot, which fairly blazes with jewels and 
ornaments, are Rama and Sita, arrayed in royal 
robes sparkling with gem.s, with the faithful brother 
Lakshmana facing them. The chariot is drawn by 
three horses, driven by Sumantra, and is covered 
by a dome -capped canopy resting on pillars, and is 
elaboratel}- designed and beautifully finished. 



TiiK first steamboat that regularly ran upon an 
American river was " The Steamboat, " invented by 
John Fitch, and which plied 'on the Delaware be- 
tween Philadelphia and Burlington in the summer 
and autumn of 1790. John Fitch gave the first suc- 
cessful steamboat to the world. The oldest factory 
for the manufacture of saws in America is that of 
William Rowland, in Philadelphia, established in 
1803. 



^iibleku XXIX 



Shows the ci-ime uf Dasaratha, committed years 
before!, which is atoned for by the lianishmcnt ot 
Rama, leaving the King practically bereaved in his 
old age. The poem gives this account of the inci- 
dent. As soon as Rama departed, his aged father 
pined and drooped. On the seventh night he tells 
Kausalaya, Rama's mother, that in his youth, while 
hunting, be had accidentally killed a young hermit. 
The d3-ing boy reproached his slayer bitterlj' for bis 
ciirelessness, and sends for the parents who will be 
robbed of support by his death. Frenzied with 
grief, the old man dooms Dasaratha to sutTer in fu- 
ture a bereaved father's woe. The death of the 
young hermit, and the denunciation of the old 
father are portrayed in this picture. TVe see a 
jungle of Hindoostan with a flowing river in the 
foreground. Palm and date trees rear their heads 
above tlie undergrowth, and broad plantain 1 eaves 
afford refreshing shade. The wealth and luxuri- 
ousness of tropical vegetation appear on every side. 
Beside the stream lays the victinr of Dasaratba's 
fatal shot, his aged parents weeping above bis bod}' ; 
the horrified and mournful Dasaratha with bow and 
arrows, standing by his side.

rLLHSTRATED SKETCH-BOOK AND OFFICIAL PROGRAISIME. 



¥klile^u 



Kepresents the abduction of Sita, and marks the 
beginning of the end of Rama's incarnation. The 
poem recites that in the forest of Dandalca, Rama 
was seen and loved bj' Surpanhaka, a sister of the 
monster Ravana. Her passion is not onl)' unre- 
quited, but -when, in a fit of jeahiusly, she attaclcs 
Sita, Lakshmana cuts off her ears and nose. Trans- 
ported witli rage she flies to her brother and art- 
fully inflames him with love for Rama's wife. Rav- 
ana takes advantage of the absence of Rama and 
Lakslimana, and carries Sita off in liis magic cliar- 
iot. Jatayu, a Vulture-King, friend to Rama, 
attempted to rescue her and was, fatally wounded in 
the struggle. 

Tlie chariot of Ravana is seen, drawn bj- wild 
asses, flying on rolling clouds. Its burnished sides 
are bright as flames and ornamented with jewels. 
A canopy of rarest workmanship .shades the seat. 
The front is in the shape of a dragon's head in gold. 
Sita stands beside lier abductor, Ravana, who is en- 
gaged in tlie deadly conflict witli tlie Vulture-King, 
which is illustrated ^)Y lurid flaslies of lightning 
from tlie clouds. 



S.\TispiED that steam could be successfully used 
in propelling locomotives. on railroads, the Balti- 
more and Ohio Co. offered a reward of $4000 for the 
best American locomotive. Phincas Davis, of York, 
Pa., won the prize, his engine being the only one of 
man}' that survived tlie trial. He used an upright 
tubular boiler. 



The first steam carriage company in America was 
formed by Col. Stephen Long, who, in 1830, obtain- 
ed a charter from the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for 
the "American Steam Carriage Co." He built a 
locomotive at Philadelphia, and it was put on the 
first two miles of rails laid by the New Castle and 
Frenchtwn railroad in Delaware. 



^J'kbleku XXXI 

Informs us how Rama relieved Kabandha from 
the curse of Indra, and learns how Sita ma}' be res- 
cued. Finding Sita gone, Rama and Lakshmana 
start without delay to search for and rescue her. In 
their travels they meet Kabandha, who had once 
been the most beautiful of mortals, but had been 
doomed by Indra to retain a monstrous visage and 
form until Rama should cleave away both of liis 
arms and place him on a funeral pyre, when his 
former beauty should be restored. In the conflict 
which ensued, Rama did cut qK his arms and placed 
him on a funeral pyre. Kabandha arose from the 
flames resplendent in beauty and gorgeously clothed, 
and instructed them to seek Sugriva, "Lord of the 
Vanars," through whose protection and assistance 
their search wouhl be successful. 

In the tableau Kabandha stands erect on a charicii 
of gold, drawn by swans, which rises from the 
smoke and flames of the pyre. This chariot is 
superb in its glories. Its front is a gilded dragon's 
head, and the body is of broad leaves of precious 
metals. The wheels gleam with gold and jewels, 
and twisting out in the rear a dragon's tail sweeps 
in circles, and strands of jiearl and coral beads are 
gracefull}- looped from the bills of the swans, M'hose 
gleaming whiteness is almost painful to the eye. 
Kabandha in his ascension is robed in royal and 
resplendent attire, the jewels on which flash and 
buru in the light of the smoking p}i'e.

Dtpicts the CDronaliim of the Royal Ape, Sugriva. 
rui-suiiig their search for Sita, Rama and Laksh- 
iiiana came to the wood of Rishyamuka, where 
they found Surgriva. He told his visitors of the 
unhappiness of liis life, caused by tlie persecutions 
of his brotlior Bali, King of the Monkeys. Rama 
killed Bali and had Sugriva crowned in his stead, 
and the vast host of Vanars was organized into 
companies sent out to scour the country in search 
of Sita, one of the companies being under the com- 
mand of Ilanuman, "son of the wind." 

This is one of the most gorgeous pictures of the 
entire pageant. Perched aloft on a throne sits the 
Royal Ape Sugriva, tlie imperial crown upon his 
head. Overhead he is sheltered by a canopy of 
gold supported by wonderfully wrought pil- 
lars, wliile a grove of palms rustles in the back- 
ground, Around the throne are cushions of gold 
and blue clotli. From the pilasters, sweeping 
down to the front, hang garlands of rarest flowers, 
while the dais supporting the throne is surrounded 
by luxuriant Eastern plants. A flight of seven 
steps, covered with blue and gold clotlis, leads to 
the throne, beside which stands Rama congratula- 
ting the newly crowned king. An apisli herald is 
seated in front proclaiming the news of the coro- 
nation, which is joyfully hailed by the follow- 
ers of Sugriva below. 



The national coinage of gold and silver, with 
copper, was begun in the United States, in the year 
1794, at the National Mint in Philadelphia. This 
was tlie only mint until 1835. David Rittenhouse 
was the first Director. Ptu-celain ware was first 
made in tiiis country by Mr. Tucker, in Philadel- 
pliia, from kaolin found in Chester county, Pa. 



^iiMe^u XXXIII 

Discloses Sita imprisoned in the Asoka grove on the 
Island of Lanka. 

After protracted and unsuccessful search, the 
Vanars were about to despair of ever finding Sita when 
they met Sampati — a vulture-king, brotherlo Jatayn 
who lost his life in the attempt to rescue Sita at the 
time of her abduction — who tells them the missing 
wife is imprisoned in the Island of Lanka beyond 
the sea. After some debate it was decided that 
Hanuman shall ojien communication witli the cap- 
tive by leaping from the seashore to the island. 
This extraordinary feat was successfully accom- 
plished, and, having satisfied himself of Sita's fidel- 
ity and purity, Ilanuman gave Sita a token from 
her husband and received one in return. 

This tableau is as gorgeous as a scene from the 
Arabian Nights. A palace supported by four col- 
umns and surmounted by a dome and four minarets 
first catclies the eye. A coral grotto brilliant with 
stalactites surrounds tlie palace through which the 
transparent waters of the sea are seen in perspective 
A flush as of sunset pervades the scene, and is re- 
flected in the crystal pavement which is inlaid with 
costly gems. The steps leading to the palace ap- 
pear like coral and the towers gleam and shine re- 
splendently. The garden surrounding the palace 
is one mass of shrubs, vines and blooming flowers, 
above which the asoka trees lift their turbaned 
heads. Sita stands in front of this wonderful edifice 
exclianging tokens with the remarkable monkey, 
Ilanuman.

Having returned Iiom liis interview with Sita. 
llanuman delivered to Rama liia -wife's token, and 
ilie entire force moved to tlie ocean shore, where 
Rama appealed to the Lord of the Ocean for assist- 
ance, who sippeared and directed him to construct 
a mole of earth, and trees, which was done under 
liiedirectioa of Nala, "the architect of the pleas- 
ant heavens where dwell the Gods." 

The God of the Ocean is seen rising from the 
deep attended by sea serpents, whose eyes flame 
like lazulite and their skina radiant with golden 
luies. The God is clothed in blue and adorned 
with every gem known to the lapidary ; on his 
head is a wreath of pearls and "sea-liorn gems." 
So natural is the silvery water one can almost fancy 
he hears it splash. Clothed in royal robes, con- 
liontmg the god of ocean, stands Rama on a rock, 
iiolding aloft one of his invincible arrows. He 
wears llie helmet of a warrior and his plutiie waves

Represents the conflict between Rama and Ravana. 

The moie having been constructed. Rama crossed 
witli his entire force and besieged the island of 
Lanka. After a fierce battle between the hosts 
Ravana appeared in his glittering chariot and 
fought with Rama, who was on foot. Indra seeing 
how unequal was the contest sent his own glorious 
car, w Inch Rauia ascended. The conflict continued 
for many days, until Kama launched at his adver 
sary the deadly arrow which Brahma had bestowed 
on Indra and had been given to Rama by Saint 
Agastya to save his life in e.xtremity. This decided 
tlie struggle and fultilled the promised made by 
Vishnu iu the incarnation of Rama 

This scene appears a masterpiece of some Titanic 
artist, who Las realized to mortal sight a contest ot 
the Gods. Rama stands aloft in his ivory car, 
which resembles a flower, the larger petals forming 
tlie back. The wheels are of gold inlaid with gems 
of every hue, whicli reflect the liglit with prismatic 
eftect. Rama is sheltered by a canopy supported 
from the back, beneath which gleams the refulgent 
.suudisc, the symliol of BiMlima. Rama's dress is 
of the richest materials and hues, while gems glteini 
and shine on breast and belt, and on his head is <i 
golden helmet, from which waves a lofty plume. 

Ravana's car is ablaze with precious stones, its 
sides of g<jld and pearl, and its intricate wheels 
glitter as formed of living light. The horses are 
trapped m beautiful cloths and gold-trimmed bar 
noss.

¥hl4e^u XXXVI 

Represents Sita's purification by fire, the story of 
which is tlius told by the poem. 

Ravana having been vanquished, Rama received 
Sita very coldly, and desired her to show herself 
unpolluted before his whole army. Overwhelmed 
and indignant Sita had her funeral pyre erected and 
called upon the Lord of Fire to vindicate her 
impugned honor. Throwing herself upon the pj're 
the flames played gently around her as if caressing. 
The Fire God Ijecamo embodied, and raising Sita 
restored her to Rama free from blot or blemish. 
Surrounded by rising flames stands Sita unscathed 
by their touch. The whole scene is one mass of 
fire. On a blue ram we see Angni, the Fire God, 
protecting the pure wife. 



Extract from Historical Paper, Read May 1, 1SS2, 

hy Frederick D. Stone, of the P. II. S., Philada. 

In the London Gazette, No. 17.j2. from Thursday, 
August 31, to Monday, September 4, 1G83, we find 
tlie following : 

Deal, Aug. 30. There are now about 30 sail of 
Merchant Ships in the Downs outward bound. Two 
or three arc bound for Pensilvania. 

In next issue of the same paper from Moud.ay, 
September 4, to Thursday, 7, 1083, wc find : 

Deal, Sep. 3. Two days since sailed out of the 
DowHSjhrce ships bound for Pensilvania, on board 
of which was Mr. Pen with a great many Quakers, 
who go to settle there. 



¥iibleiiu XXXVII 

Closes the whole series and the pageant with a rep- 
resentation of Sita's descent into the earth. 

Rama having returned with his rescued wife to 
Ayodhya and taken possession of his throne, found 
that Sita's good name was still pursued by slander- 
ous tongues, and, though he knew her to be entirelj' 
blameless, determined to "put her away." He 
therefore directed the obedient Lakslunana to take 
her to the hermit's grove on the banks of the Gan- 
ges, where she had expressed a desire to go, and 
leave her, " for he will see her face no more." She 
was received by Valmiki himself with every honor, 
and, when her two sons were born, he devoted him- 
self to their education, teaching them, among other 
things, to recite tlie Ramayana. When, after the 
lapse of years, Rama decided to celebrate liimself 
the .sacrifice of the white horse, Valmiki and liis 
pupils attended tlic ceremony, during which the two 
princes recited to their fatlier the account of his own 
achievements. Inquiry revealed the secret of their 
parentage, and Rama invited Sita to reaffirm lier in- 
nocence before the vast assemblage. She was 
unwilling to go througli this second ordeal luid 
prayed to the Goddess of Earth to grant her a hid- 
ing place. In response to her prayer Madliavi ap- 
peared, and, placing Sita on the throne beside licr, 
they descended to Hades together, a continuous 
shower of flowers falling on her head. 

Beneath a liigh canopy sits Madhavi, tlie Goddess 
of Earlli, on a tlirone of rare beauty, the back being 
composed of pearls, lazulite, rubies, emeralds and 
other gems skillfully and tastefully wrought into the 
structui-e. The throne rests upon an open lotus 
flower, and around it are several lotus buds. Sita 
stands before her in royal robes, queenly to the last.

*-My Dear wife and children, 

"My love, which neither sea, nor land, nor death it- 
self can extintiuisli or lessen toward yon, most endear- 
edly visits you with eternal embraces, and will abide 
with you for ever: and may the God of my life watch 
over you, and bless you, and do you good in this world 

and for ever! Some things are upon my spirit to 

leave with you in your respective capacities, as I am to 
one a husband, and to the rest a father, if I should 
never see you more in this world, 

" My dear wife ! remember thou wast the love of my 
youth, and much the joy of my life ; the most beloved, 
as well as most worthy of all my earthly comforts: and 
the reason of that love was more thy inward than thy 
outward excellencies, which yet were many. God 
knows, and thou knowest it, I can say it was a match 
of Providence's making; and God's image in us both 
was the first thing, and the most amiable and engaging 
ornament in our eyes. Now I am to leave thee, and 
that without knowing whether I shall ever see thee 
moi'e in this world, take my counsel into thy bosom, 
and let it dwell with thee in my stead while thou 
livest. 

****** ***#*!! 

'* And as for you, who are likely to be concerned in 
the government of Pennsylvania and my parts of East 
Jersey, especially the first, I do charge you before the 
Lord God and his holy angels, that you be lowly, dili- 
gent and tender, fearing God, loving the people, and 
hating covetousncss. Let justice have its impartial 
course, and the law free passage. Though to your loss, 
protect no man against it; for you are not above the 
law, but the law above you. Live tlierefore the lives 
yourselves you would have the people live, and then 
you have right and boldness to punish the transgres- 
sor. Keep u]>on the square, for God sees you : therefore 
do your duty, and be sure you see with your own eyes, 
and hear with your own ears. Kntertaiu no lurchers, 
cherish no informers for gain or revenge ; use no tricks; 
fly to no devices to support or cover injustice; but let 
your hearts be upright before the Lord, trusting in him 
above the contrivances of men, and none shall be able 
to hurt or supplant. 

•' Oh ! the Lord is a strong God, and he can do what- 
Boever he pleases; and though men consider it not, it is 
the Lord that rules and over-rules in the kingdoms of 
men, and he builds up and pulls down. I, your father, 
nm the man tiiat can say. He that trusts in the Lord 
shall not be confounded. But God, in due lime, will 
make his enemies be at peace with him. 

"If you thus beliave yourselves, and so become a ter- 
ror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well, God, 
my God, will be with you in wisdom and a sound mind, 
and make you blessed instruments in his hand f<tr the 
settlements of some of those desolate parlsof the world, 
wliich my soul desires above all worldly honours and 
riches, both for you that go and you that stay: you 
tljat govern and you that are governed; that in the 
end you may be gathered with me to the rest of God. 

" Finally, my children, love one another witli a true 
endeared love, and your dear relations oi^. both sides, 
and take care to preserve tender affection in your chil- 
dren to each other, often marrying within themselves^ 
so as it be wltliout the bounds forbidden in God's law, 
that so they may not, like the forgetting unnatural 
world, gn>w out of kindred and as cold as strangers; 
but, as becomes a truly natural and Christian stock, 
you and yours after you may live in the pure aud fer- 
vent love of God towards one another, as becometh 
brethren in the spiritual and natural relation. 

"So, my (iod, that hath blessed me with his abun- 
dant mercies, both of this and the other and better lite, 
be with you all, guide you by his counsel, bless you, 
and bring you to his eteriial glory ! that you nuiy shine, 
my dear children, in the firmament of God's power with 
tiie blessed spirits of the just, that celestial family, 
praising and admiring him, the God and Fatlier of it, 
for ever. For there is no (iod like unto him : tlie God 
of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of the Prophets, the 
Apostles, and Martyrs of Jesus, in whom I live for ever. 

*'So farewell to my thrice dearly beloved wife and 
children! 

" Yours, as God plcaseth, in that wliicli nowaters can 
quench, no time forget, nor distance wear away, 
but remains for ever, 

" William Penn.

PROVIDENT 

LIFE AND TRUST COMPANY 

OF PHILADELPHIA. 



II IS A STROJ^G COMPAJ\''Y. In addition to the usual accumulations of a Life Insur- 
ance Company, it has a capital of $1,000,000. Of this, $500,000 has been paid, up for a number 
of years, and the balance will be paid in installments during 1882 and, 1883. This is further 
augmented, by a contingent fund of nearly $4.00,000. The Company therefore presents an 
additional security of $1,400,000. 

Tlie advantages resulting from the peculiar organization of this Company have never been 
attained, in any other Life Insurance Company. The Union of its Trust business with its 
Insurance business, secures to the latter the superior conditions of safety of the former.
